Virtual Open Day
Our popular live Q&As are hosted entirely online, so you don’t need to leave the comfort of your own home to experience what University College Cork is about. You can expect subject information, a chance to chat with our expert academics, financial and support guidance, and even a virtual tour of our amazing campuses.
See you in May for our next online event.
- Wednesday 3 May 2023 from 3pm to 5pm
You can simply log into the platform and chat with our Students and Staff on the day. See you then!
Preparing for the live Q&A
First register and log on to the platform here.
As with our normal Open Days – families, guardians and friends are more than welcome to join in, so gather around the computer (or other devices) and enjoy this exclusive virtual experience together. You may however decide that each person wants to enjoy it at their pace and on their own device – and that is also possible. Just make sure each participant has registered for the event.
Equipment
The best way to participate on the days is to use a PC or laptop but tablets and smartphones will also work.
Be sure to have your headphones ready! Throughout the event, you will have access to lots of useful video and audio content relating to our courses, student accommodation, and much more, so if you are accessing the event in a communal environment, it may be a good idea to use headphones to not disturb those around you.
You do not need to speak or be on video. At no point in the day will you be asked to enable your microphone or camera, so please do not worry about this at all. Instead, we will be offering various live webchats for you to join and interact with us and our current students. All participation in the event is completely voluntary, so just go with what you feel comfortable.
