University College Cork

As one of Ireland’s oldest institutions, the world renowned University College Cork (UCC) is the perfect location for IWLS 2023. The university campus benefits all the facilities of a modern, thriving city, blended seamlessly with a 19th century historic campus.

University College Cork was founded in 1845 as one of three Queen’s Colleges located in Belfast, Cork, and Galway. It became University College, Cork, under the Irish Universities Act of 1908. The Universities Act 1997 renamed the university as National University of Ireland, Cork, and a Ministerial Order of 1998 renamed the university as University College Cork – National University of Ireland, Cork, though it continues to be almost universally known as University College Cork.
