UCC is proud to be ranked in the top 2% of universities in the world. The university opened its gates to just 115 students in 1849, and now has a student population of over 21,000.

The School of Chemistry at UCC offers a number of undergraduate degree options. The Central Applications Office (CAO) processes applications for undergraduate courses in Irish Higher Education Institutions. Application to Year 1 of our degree programmes is made directly through the CAO. Our courses are available through CK402, CK406 and CK408 on the CAO application system.

All our courses are fully accredited by The Royal Society of Chemistry and/or by The Institute of Physics.
