Student Life

We want you to really enjoy your time spent here in UCC and to feel supported and encouraged from the first moment you thought of studying with us, to your graduation and beyond.

Clubs and societies

There is a huge variety of sporting choices for you to get involved in. Whether it is competitive or recreational, participation in sporting activities is a great way to immerse yourself in the college scene, as well as a fun way to keep fit and healthy. We have a wide range of traditional field sports such as soccer, rugby and GAA, exciting water sports such as canoeing, surfing and sailing, to alternative modern sports such as ultimate Frisbee and trampolining. The most difficult decision you face is deciding which club to join.

UCC Societies are social groups based on shared, non-athletic interests. Joining a society during your years at college is one of the best decisions you will ever make. It’s also one of the easiest because no matter who you are or what your tastes, there will be a society to suit you.
