UCC has four Colleges which deliver almost 70 undergraduate degree programmes to students. • College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences  • College of Business and Law • College of Science, Engineering and Food Science • College of Medicine and Health 

Many programmes have paid work placements built into the degree or periods of study abroad which is hugely beneficial to students when they are looking for employment post-university. In fact, 95% of UCC undergraduate students are provided with placement opportunities and 94% of undergraduates employed or in further study or training within 9 months of graduation.

We have a range of taught programmes that are offered on a part-time basis and the university is committed to increasing flexibility in its programmes, e.g., by introducing on-line learning programmes.  Our taught masters degree programmes equip graduates to pursue solutions to global challenges in four key areas:
