Flats and spare rooms for students near the UCC

We'll tell you about the different locations of the institution so you can find accommodation in the ideal neighbourhood for you.

Where is University College Cork located?

Its colleges, faculties, and institutes are located in various parts of the Irish city.

Main Campus

This is the institution's first and largest campus. It is also a tourist attraction due to the beauty of its ancient architecture. Most of UCC's colleges, faculties, and institutes are located here, including:

  • Medicine and Health at the Brookfield Health Sciences Centre
  • Institute of Biosciences
  • School of Pharmacy
  • Law School
  • School of Geography and Archaeology
  • Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences
  • Engineering
  • History
  • Physics

North Mall Campus

This campus is located on the other side of the River Lee from the city centre to the north. It is home to the following UCC institutes:

  • Faculty of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences
  • Department of Music

Best neighbourhoods to live in near the UCC

We suggest you look for accommodation in the following areas of the Irish city:

City Centre

This is the liveliest neighbourhood in the city, with the most bars, restaurants, shops, and places of interest to visit. You can walk to both Main Campus and North Mall Campus from the centre of Cork in around 20 minutes.

Glasheen and Gillabbey

These two areas take their name from the main streets that run through them. They are located to the south of Cork city centre, but within a few minutes walk, bike ride or public transport from it. The UCC Main Campus is located in this area, making it convenient, especially for students who are going to study there. Keep in mind that this also means that the area is often full of students and has a lively atmosphere.

Student residences near the UCC

As a student at this institution, you can apply for accommodation in one of its apartment complexes. Most of them are located within the UCC Main Campus. However, the process can take several months and a place is not guaranteed, so we recommend that you also consider private student residences scattered throughout the city. The cost of both options is usually similar, but we still recommend that you compare the features offered by each one to choose the one that is ideal for you.

Erasmus in the University College Cork

Below are some key points to keep in mind when planning your mobility:

  • Although UCC does not require an English language proficiency certificate, it assumes that students applying to the institution have a level of proficiency that enables them to effectively follow the classes.
  • You will likely find it very easy to make friends with local people, as the Irish are very sociable and friendly. You just have to be willing to talk to them and start the conversation!
  • If the accommodation you are going to does not have everything you need, you can use the UCC Swap Shop, where previous year students donate things they do not take back home and that can be useful for incoming students. You can take what you need for free!
