Irish Culture
Cork City
Cork is Ireland’s second largest city and is located near the south coast of Ireland. It offers students all the advantages of a bustling, vibrant and cosmopolitan city. Cork is permeated with parks, galleries, shops, restaurants, theatres and historical buildings so students are never short of recreational options. Simultaneously it possesses a small-town familiarity and students can navigate the city on foot with ease. Cork is widely known as The Food Capital of Ireland. The city and university work well together in providing students with a rich academic and extra-curricular experience. Cork City provides endless entertainment in the form of plays, concerts, exhibitions, shopping and festivals.
