UCC PLUS+ Outreach programme - COVID-19 UPDATE

We resumed some of our on-campus events later this Semester 2021/22, pending Covid-19 restrictions.  We are in direct contact with our 32 Linked Deis Schools with event details.

*******************************************************************************************

The  ACCESS UCC PLUS Schools Outreach Programme has been designed and developed in partnership with our DEIS schools and continuously evolves in response to the needs of students. UCC PLUS currently works with 31 linked secondary schools in Cork, Kerry and Waterford (List of Linked Schools).  The programme consists of a variety of activities and initiatives both school and campus-based from 1^st year through to Leaving Cert.  The Aim of the Schools Outreach Programme is to:

• Raise the aspirations of students and parents.
• Establish connections between students, parents, school and UCC.
• Introduce students to UCC and the UCC student experience.
• Enhance students’ academic performance and their ability to compete for university places.
• Promote the HEAR Scheme as a college entry mechanism.
• Support students and parents in completing a HEAR application.
