About UCC Sports Performance Programme
The purpose of UCC Sport’s performance programme is to support UCC teams and athletes in performing to their full potential. The programme is tailored for our sports scholarship students, our elite teams and athletes performing at top level sport in Ireland and internationally.
We work with our clubs, coaches and specialist staff in the areas of sports science, conditioning, nutrition, sports medicine, sports physiology and sports analysis. We also work in partnership with national governing bodies, provincial sports organisations, and with Sport Ireland in the delivery of the new high performance strategy. We also provide annual sports scholarships to help students achieve their goals.
