Student Support and Services
Student Support and Services
Disability Support
UCC has an excellent Disability and Learning Support Service. This service is used by students who are blind or vision impaired, students who are deaf or hard of hearing, students with mobility disabilities, students with specific learning difficulties, including dyslexia, students with hidden disabilities such as mental health difficulties or significant on going illnesses such as epilepsy. The service provides an individualised customised response to each student’s needs.
Student Welfare
In the School of Medicine, we recognise that, at times, students need additional support, whether working through personal or academic issues, to ensure that all students reach their full potential. It is important that you have access to help, including services to support your study and learning, medical services, and counsellors. UCC offers a range of services aimed at helping you to make the most of student life, many of them conveniently located on campus.
Who to contact for student support:
The School of Medicine has a dedicated Lead for Student Support, Dr Anél Wiese (a.wiese@ucc.ie).
When you need support, contact the lead for Student Support for your year group.
- In DEM 1-3 and GEM 1-2, this is your Year Coordinator.
- In DEM 4/5 and GEM 3/4, Dr Wiese is the first point of contact.
