Teaching & Timetables Semester 1 Academic Year 2020/21

To comply with government guidelines and to ensure the safety of both our students and staff, all College of Business and Law degree programmes will be delivered in a blended fashion in 2020/2021. This means students will engage in both online learning (live online events and pre-made online content) and on-campus learning (in-person sessions at UCC).

In line with a Government direction on Friday 25 Sep 2020, UCC, along with all universities in the country, introduced enhanced public health protection measures from Monday, 28 September 2020 until Friday, 9 October 2020. This Government direction has implications for teaching delivery and on-campus activity. Your timetable has not changed but the mode of delivery for your classes may well have.

In accordance with the Government’s directions, lectures shall be delivered online to the maximum extent possible during this period of enhanced protective measures. For this College and for its Schools: the School of Law and Cork University Business School (CUBS) for this period lectures will be delivered online in as far as possible

Programme Directors and Module Co-ordinators shall communicate these changes in lecture/tutorial arrangements to students via Canvas and/or email. Students should check their student email and Canvas for alerts about lectures/tutorials next week and during this period.

Any assessments which may be scheduled in the coming week will proceed as planned unless students are notified otherwise by your Programme Director/Module Co-ordinator.

International Student Festive Celebration

Mary Maguire, Manager Dept of Economics enjoying a chat around the table with our international students.

Thanks to all our international students who came out to celebrate the end of semester here at the College of Business and Law on Monday December 2nd 2019.

A great evening was had by all who attended. A welcoming address was given by Professor Eleanor Doyle, Chair of the Internationalisation Committee. A lovely selection of festive treats was served, and conversation ensued around the tables with people exchanging stories from all parts of the globe.

This is an important event which celebrates the invalauble contribution made by international students to the academic and cultural life of the College of Business and Law, and UCC in general.
