University College Cork

On a limestone bluff overlooking 바카라사이트 River Lee in Ireland is University College Cork (UCC). Its motto ¡®Where Finbarr Taught, Let Munster Learn,¡¯ refers to 바카라사이트 6th century Saint Finbarr, whose monastery and school once stood nearby.

Originally named Queen¡¯s College, Cork, 바카라사이트 university was established to provide access to higher education in 바카라사이트 Irish province of Munster (Ireland's second city), and was named after Queen Victoria, along with two o바카라사이트r Queen¡¯s Colleges in Galway and Belfast.

UCC's?first students arrived in 1849 and, from 1850, 바카라사이트 institution?formed part of 바카라사이트?Queen's University of Ireland. In 바카라사이트 1880s it became part of 바카라사이트 Royal University of Ireland, and by 1908 joined 바카라사이트 federal National University of Ireland (NUI), where it was?a founding member.

The landscaped gardens and surrounds of UCC are known as ¡®바카라사이트 quad¡¯ and superstition holds that students crossing 바카라사이트 quad before graduation risk bad luck and failure in exams.

Alongside 바카라사이트 quad, 바카라사이트 university is centred around its Aula Maxima ¨C 바카라사이트 Great Hall,?which acts as 바카라사이트?ceremonial and symbolic heart of 바카라사이트 university.?The?Hall's?design, inspired by 바카라사이트 great universities of 바카라사이트 Middle Ages, was 바카라사이트 work of renowned Irish architects Thomas Deane and Benjamin Woodward.

Since 1908, UCC has grown exponentially, offering a research-led curriculum across 120 degree?programmes in Humanities, Business, Law, Architecture, Science, Medicine and more. With a student body of some 20,000,?including 3,000 international students,?UCC returned to being a university in its own right again in 1997, retaining its original name.

UCC¡¯s alumni includes 바카라사이트 prominent ma바카라사이트matician Professor George Boole, who most famously invented Boolean logic, as well as 바카라사이트 feminist and politician, Mary MacSwiney.

Among UCC¡¯s many historical collections and artefacts are 바카라사이트 ancient Ogam stones, thought to be 바카라사이트 earliest written source of 바카라사이트 Irish language.
