University College Cork – Irlandia

This almost 170-year-old institution has a reputation for having a major impact on Ireland's regional and national economy, reflected in generating €2.3 million a day in revenue. By working closely with business and educating students in line with the motto “world-ready – work-ready”, it contributes to the development of local and international businesses, without forgetting about responsibility for the community, the environment or health.

As many as ten universities, located in major European cities, belong to the European University of Cities in Post-Industrial Transition alliance.

UCC is also a university with a strong commitment to inclusivity. More than 23% of its students are people with disabilities or representing a wide range of minorities – religious, sexual and national ones. University College Cork was one of the first Irish institutions to offer higher education to women (1885) and to begin conferring the title of professor to women (1910). Equal treatment is now provided there by the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Unit, and the university itself has the status of 'University of Sanctuary', i.e. a university providing sanctuary to those in need.
