University College Cork has announced details of a new course to give Ukrainian refugees who have had their “whole world destroyed” an authentic student experience in Ireland.

Organised by the Adult Continuing Education (ACE) Centre in UCC, the course aims to orientate Ukrainians and integrate them with Irish students, who will show them the ropes of life as a young adult here.
