What is The Student Experience?
The core of the student experience is a student’s chosen course of study with an emphasis on independent learning and encouragement to challenge received ideas. This is supported by a range of services, characterised by rigorously high standards and top quality pastoral care. The experience of a community environment and hospitable and inviting campus, and the opportunities which UCC provides in music and the arts, on the sports field, in special interest activities and in volunteering form a key part of student life at UCC.
