UCC & irishexaminer.com to host online postgraduate Q&A session
It's never too early to start planning your postgraduate studies and this live Q&A session will allow anyone considering a postgraduate programme to explore their options at UCC.
Most of the programmes have an early September start date so now is the perfect time to start asking questions and receive some instant answers. Questions can be submitted directly at www.ucc.ie/postgradlive between 1:10pm and 1:50pm on 3 February. A reminder email will also be sent out to those who pre-register at the above link.
Questions on postgraduate applications, postgraduate programmes and life as a postgraduate student in UCC will all be discussed.
The UCC panel will include:
Mary Byrne, College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences
Mags Arnold, College of Medicine & Health
Anne Wallace, College of Business & Law
Patricia O'Shaughnessy, College of Science, Engineering & Food Science
Lisa Brett, Graduate Studies Office
Rebecca Noonan, Office of Marketing & Communications
The software used to run the event is an application created by Pubble, a Cork based tech start-up co-founded by UCC graduate John Dineen from Kinsale.
Prospective students who cannot attend virtually but may wish to in person will also welcome UCC’s Postgraduate Open Day 2015, taking place on Tuesday 10 February from 11am-3pm in Devere Hall, Student Centre on UCC’s main campus.
Students who plan on attending UCC will soon see that 2015 is a particularly special year for the university as it celebrates the bicentenary of genius The first Professor of Mathematics at UCC (1849-64), Boole’s pivotal advances in mathematics, logic and probability provided the essential groundwork for modern mathematics, microelectronic engineering and computer science.
His influence is such that he has been called the father of the digital age. 2015 is his 200th birthday and UCC is celebrating his life and legacy with a series of major events during the year. See more at georgeboole.com
