Access Programme Easter School, 23-27 April
More than 200 transition and fifth year students from schools in Cork
and Kerry will be on campus to participate in the annual Access
Programme Easter School from 23-27 April.
The UCC Access Programme works with students in targeted schools,
providing motivational and educational assistance to them through their
secondary schooling. This in turn should enhance their ability to
compete for third level places.
Easter School gives students the opportunity to experience University
life first hand. During their time on campus students will
participate in a wide range of activities. Presentations and
interactive sessions will be provided by staff from the four colleges.
Talks from student services and the students union will also take
place. The group will get an introduction to the facilities in the
Mardyke Arena and participate in various sporting activities. The
experience will also include computer sessions, language labs, a
physics show, rocket workshops, guided tours and many other activities,
which should encourage these students to consider University as a real
option.
