About UCC Language Centre

University College Cork Language Centre delivers English programmes on the university campus in Cork. Its English for Work and Life course develops communication skills for living and working in an English-speaking environment, with 16- and 20-lesson weekly options and published enrolment cycles throughout the academic year. The centre also provides Academic English, pre-sessional university preparation, study-and-work programmes, part-time classes and teacher development. Applicants can consult specific 2026 to 27 course dates and tuition schedules before applying, rather than relying on a generic weekly intake promise. Accommodation options include locally selected host families and, during summer, university or other self-catering residences, subject to availability. The main office is in the O'Rahilly Building at University College Cork. Its official pages also cover IELTS and Cambridge examinations.
