Student Opportunities

Students of UCC are also students of UNIC, connected to the other nine UNIC partner universities across Europe. Find out more about the UNIC universities and their profiles: Universities (unic.eu).

UNIC is a part of the European Universities Initiative, launched by the European Commission as a new way for universities to work together across Europe. Read more about the European Universities Initiative and its goals: European Universities initiative | European Education Area (europa.eu).

UNIC's core goal is to benefit students of the ten universities, by opening up mobility, shared research, and city engagement across partners.

How can I get involved?

  • Take an online language course here: Online Language Modules (unic.eu). Language courses are free for UCC students, whether you want to prepare to travel to a UNIC location or just want to learn something new. Language courses take 15-30 hours depending on the module, and also cover fascinating cultural aspects. Courses are available for Croatian, Dutch, English & Irish (delivered by UCC's Language Centre), Finnish, French, German, Spanish & Basque, and Turkish. 
  • Go on Erasmus exchange to one of the UNIC universities. Contact unic@ucc.ie, visit the International Office and find more information on Erasmus opportunities in UCC here: https://www.ucc.ie/en/international/goabroadwithucc/.
  • Apply to join one of the UNIC Joint Master's programmes: SEOS (Superdiversity in Education, Organisations and Society) MA or RePIC (Redesigning the Post-Industrial City) MSc.
  • Sign up to the UNIC newsletter: unic.eu/newsletter
