Abstract

An ambitious, agile university with a modern focus, of rich historic heritage, UCC sits nestled in the western fringes of Cork city as if it has always been there. Reaching out into the community, both locally and globally, there are undeniable educational, financial, developmental, medical, societal and cultural benefits to having a leading-edge, world-class university in the city. In the same way that UCC’s role in society and the community has developed extensively over the past 173 years, the University has also become engrained economically in Ireland and the South West. You will see from our detailed analysis that UCC is now of vital importance to the national and local economies and to the Exchequer.
