Students of UCC are also students of UNIC, connected to the other nine UNIC partner universities across Europe. Find out more about the UNIC universities and their profiles: Universities (unic.eu).
UNIC is a part of the European Universities Initiative, launched by the European Commission as a new way for universities to work together across Europe. Read more about the European Universities Initiative and its goals: European Universities initiative | European Education Area (europa.eu).
UNIC's core goal is to benefit students of the ten universities, by opening up mobility, shared research, and city engagement across partners.
