- Why I love Cork
Safe and Sound
UCC Voted the safest campus in Ireland and one of safest in the world
UCC has a strong tradition of community engagement and an excellent student experience. According to international survey conducted by studyportals.com and the International Graduate Insight Group in 2015, UCC received an ‘Excellent International Student Satisfaction Award’ and has been voted both the safest campus in Ireland and one of the safest in the world.
As an international student, knowing that UCC is proactive in maintaining student safety on campus can help with your peace of mind when living away from home. Cork has achieved a Purple Flag, for the second time, for excellence during evening and night-time activity within the city.
At UCC, we foster a spirit of responsibility, respect and co-operation between students and the wider community, working together to create a safe and student friendly community environment. Through our work with Campus Watch and our Community Relations Officer, we encourage responsible behaviour amongst all our students, creating a safe environment in and around campus so that students can enjoy UCC’s many amenities, green spaces and river walks.
UCC is particularly appreciated for our community atmospheres, innovative programmes and student support services, as well as our multicultural mix and vibrant student life. UCC supports our students so that they may reach their full potential and make lasting memories.
