Entry Requirements

Erasmus Agreement in Study Area

Your university must have an Erasmus agreement in your specific subject area in order to study at UCC under the Erasmus programme.

If you are unsure if your university has an Erasmus agreement with UCC, then please speak with the institutional/academic coordinator at your home university.

UCC DOES NOT REQUIRE STUDENTS TO PROVIDE ENGLISH LANGUAGE CERTIFICATES.

Lectures are usually conducted through the medium of English. 

A good knowledge of English is therefore essential in order to be able to understand lectures and to be able to work with English language text books.
