The university achieves this by divesting completely from fossil fuel investments, hosting Ireland's only ''Farm to Fork'' food campaign and having a zero-plastic cafe on the campus. In recent years, UCC has cut its carbon footprint by over a third.

New learning centre

Recently, UCC opened a brand-new student services and learning centre. One of the university's oldest buildings on campus, it has been radically transformed into ''the Hub'', which sits at the heart of the campus. It is now a modern, state-of-the-art facility while still managing to conserve the heritage of its 170-year-old historic building.

Inside the hub, students will find study facilities, teaching and event spaces, along with a range of student services, such as student wellbeing, careers advice, accessibility support and the student support office. Many of the university's clubs and societies are also found in the Hub - with over 100 to choose from, students will find something which matches their interests.

Nurturing Bright Futures

The university has launched a new online course to help students make the transition to university. Entitled Nurturing Bright Futures, it hosts videos, articles as well as interactive worksheets and exercises. It is designed to help incoming students understand more about higher education and engage with UCC before classes begin.

Students at UCC have access to a variety of support services. UCC prides itself on providing personalized support which helps students feel at home while living and studying in Cork.
