• English
• Greek and Roman Civilisation
• History
• History of Art

You will also visit the library and its special collections, tour the campus and discuss what careers and opportunities are open to you after an Arts degree.

Entry is by application and places are limited to twenty students.  Please fill out the application form and send it to Dr Catherine Ware (Catherine.Ware@ucc.ie).

The deadline for submission is 5pm, December 1, 2026.

Applications must be submitted on the application form, available at (Corvinus Application Form 2026) typed and sent by email.
