University College Cork has been named University of the Year for a record-breaking fifth time.

UCC wins university of the year award for a fifth time

It is the first university to retain the top title for two consecutive years in the 15-year history of the Sunday Times award. Along with the current double, UCC also won the top award in 2003, 2005 and 2011.

UCC’s success is underpinned by making teaching as much of a priority as research, with 70% of its academic staff having a qualification in teaching and learning. The university is also the first in Ireland to develop an online programme in teaching staff in higher education.
