r/UCC

Howdy y'all,

I recently got accepted to a masters in UCC. I am quite excited to get on that, but, the housing shortage was not exaggerated. I could uncomfortably afford a place in Cork (and I have found several options that look possible for under €800). But, I was curious if there was any good villages for commuting? Spots I might find a cheaper rent with decent public transit options to UCC. Preferably a village that has some kind of character, not just suburban sprawl. As I don't have a car, so a store and a decent pub or two would be awesome.

I've never been to a sauna but I want to use the one in the mardyke, what are the rules?

Must u bring a towel in with you? Can u wear sandals? Do u have to shower before the sauna like be wet apon entering? Anything else to know?

Heyy,

I'm going to UCC for the autumn semester and I've seen quite nice rooms on University Living, but I heard mixed reviews about if they're legit or not. What do you guys think?

Hey guys!! I'm still recruiting participants for my psychology study! I'll be closing the survey at the end of the week so need all the help I can get. You just need to be aged 18-29 and living in Ireland. It will only take 5-10 minutes :)

Hello,

I recently got an offer for a PhD at UCC.

I am very interested in the project but very concerned about the financial aspects.

They told me the stipend was 22k per annum, and that their PhD students normally don't teach on the side or do anything to earn more money.

I am not from Ireland but from what I've heard, it is very difficult and expensive to find accomodations there.

I've already been living in student's rooms for three years and honestly I am quite tired of it.

So I would like the opinion of someone doing a PhD at UCC, or living in Cork.

Does anyone know this?

Hi guys. I’m just wondering if anyone has any advice in regards to doing the advanced entry transfer into UCC. UCC business information systems was my initial choice, however unfortunately I didn’t obtain enough points for ucc, so I studied BIS for first year at Mtu Cork. however I’m planning on applying for external transfer into UCC and continue in second year, and was wondering if anyone had any advice. I’m aware that your modules have to align with the course you want to transfer into, and I have checked that and most of them align, and that it depends on the number of places available and it may be chosen in order of merit, so I’m just wondering if any of you have transferred from another college into UCC did you need to achieve a 1.1? And when did you find out that you were accepted? thank you so much. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, as I am a first year hahaha . I failed a exam at Christmas, and I was wondering do you get the same exam u already took? I know it can vary across different modules/courses however what’s the general consensus 😅😅😅😅😅

Im in 6th year and I genuinely don't know which to choose, like I hate chemistry and ik its like major on CK402 course 😭 is it like leaving cert chemistry or is it different?

I also am worried about the maths as I do ordinary level and im afraid its gonna impact my learning and that im gonna be on a different level than other people.

With CK404 then the options for the course make me feel like im just gonna end up in a zoo and I really dont want that (no offense!) So I do want know about the pathways from these courses also as I know the UCC course provides these but is that really it?

I know CK402 has more options and is more broad which I like the choice on the course aswell, im just afraid it'll be out of my league and ill drop out first year 😭

So if anyone can provide me with knowledge on these courses and how they are after doing them careers wise it'll be a big help in my choice!! Pls help im desperate

Just wondering how I find this out

As a foreign student, it’s incredibly tempting.

I’ve always loved Irish music, which led me down a rabbit hole with Irish history. I’ve done reading on the famine, post famine, and pre-civil war Ireland. I’ve spent a lot of time reading on the north too.

The last topic there got me interested in the Irish language. Tá mé ag foghlaim anois, ach tá Gaeilge crua. Tá go leor oibre. That’s all sort of cascaded, and I really want to study near a Gaeltacht. I dread engineering degrees, and business degrees. History has always been fascinating, but as a degree, it doesn’t give you that many options.

I get the impression that I can do a lot with an anthropology degree. I like the courses, and the context that it’s taught in. Would you recommend it?
