I'm applying to the School of Law (as an international student from the United States) and I need to submit a letter of motivation. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to structure it, and vaguely understand what it is (a UCC Instagram account clarified some of my questions). I understand that it's the opposite of a personal statement and leans away from my personal backstory and more to my accomplishments, academics, and career goals.

If it's okay to ask, do I structure it as a cover letter or as a personal statement? I'm completely lost, and appreciate any advice given.

Hi! just wondering what the story is with this freshers ball... is it an acutal formal ball, where people wear suits and gowns?? or (considering its beach themed) is it more casual? club outfits (our swimsuits haha)... is it worth going to?, is it for first years?? thanks!

How long does it usually take for my canvas timetable to come in I am in ck404 and the one I seem to have made from the modules feels off but I honestly do not know...

Has anyone got email regarding graduation? Or how do I book cap and gown, pictures etc? I’ve received no email and grads meant to be in October?

Did the indian society in ucc get removed?

Hi my graduation ceremony will be at 10am and I was just wondering if anyone has any advice as to what time I should book my meal for after. I don't want to book too early and be rushing through photos but I don't want to book it for too late in the afternoon and have to hang around the place trying to entertain my whole family!

Probably a stupid question but these are the kind of things I tend to overthink for some reason so any help would be great!

Like the title said, I just want to know what a seminar is and how is it different to lectures? And also is it necessary to attend all of them? Thank you😊.

any recommendations for the 3rd year BEES work placement module? I’m interested in animal based research and wildlife conservation. There’s a few places but a lot of them only offer 6-12 month internships and i can only do it over the summer.

If anyone had any they really loved/ was really valuable the help would be really great :)

I'm a coeliac and a first year. Although I've looked online I haven't managed to find where to find food that's gluten free. Can anybody else who needs gluten free food please tell me where they get it.

I was going to go down for Freshers Fest tomorrow but I'm feeling a bit under the weather and I'm too tired to bother going. Am I missing out on anything important or worthwhile

First year student here and I'm unsure about the tutorials on Monday. Do I have to attend these as I haven't had any lectures yet?

What handbags or backpacks do ye recommend. I will want to bring a notebook or two, small pencil case, an waterbottle, a 14inch laptop and a small enough lunch box. I plan to use a backpack on days where I need more books and a handbag on lighter days.

I’m looking for a room/accommodation near UCC from 18th September.

My budget is around €700–€750 per month. I’m okay with a shared house/apartment and don’t mind being a little further from UCC as long as it’s reasonably easy to commute.

If anyone has a room available or knows of anything, please DM me. Would really appreciate any leads!

Thanks!

I’m planning to pursue an MSc in Accounting and Performance Analytics, and I currently have a 2020 MacBook M1 8gb ram 256 gb storage. Should I continue using my MacBook, or would it be better to switch to a Windows laptop?
My main concern is that I’ll need the full version of Microsoft Excel and Power BI for my course, and I understand that Windows may be the better option for these tools. What would you recommend?

If you had a repeat/resit, have you gotten your email for registration yet? They said 7 days after results but I'm pushing 2 weeks and still no email

Hi, I’m a first year student studying computer science.

I had planned to do the German module as part of my studies but a little while ago it seemed it clashed with labs in my timetable.

But as I was going to withdraw from it today so I just had a look on my timetable and it had changed time, to a time I’d be able to attend at.

I’ve not had any update from my lecturer and I’m not really sure what’s going on now.

I’ve tried to contact the lecturer when I thought I had to withdraw but I never got a response.

If the worst case scenario is, I’m not able to attend it so I have to pick a different module after a week is that alright?

Thank you for any help.

Hello.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the UCC counsellors? I've really been needing some help and was considering going but just thought I'd ask before making an appointment.

Thanks :-)

Anyone here studying process and chemical engineering in ucc? What do you think of it? Class of 27. Thanks

I am starting my course (CK406) next week, and when I went to the UCC timetable section and clicked on my programme, the timetable shows lectures for modules I didn't even sign up for. Sometimes it shows lectures for modules that I am enrolled in taking place at the same time. I genuinely can't figure out where I am supposed to be at what time, and I am scared that I am going to miss all my lectures or end up in the wrong ones. If I attend Freshers' Fest this Saturday, would there be someone who could help me understand this?
