Case Study Symposium
UCC is undergoing a National Institutional Quality Review (CINNTE) in March 2023. In preparation of this review, the University is required to submit an Institutional Self-Evaluation Report (ISER), an Institutional Profile (IP) and a Case Study of Good Practice portfolio. We hosted a case study of good practice symposium on Thursday, 20 October 2022 in the Glucksman Gallery, where all the Case Studies of Good Practice submitted by staff and students were showcased.
The Case Studies of Good Practice will be posted on the QEU webpage within the coming weeks!
The presented case studies will be included in the Case Study of Good Practice's digital portfolio that will accompany the ISER and IP. Check out the QEU webpage at https://www.ucc.ie/en/qeu/qeunews/ for the latest news and feeds around the symposium.

- Student Experience
- Learning & Teaching
- Research
Stage 1 – IR Self-Evaluation
