Head of College of Medicine & Health
University College Cork (UCC) was founded as Queen’s College Cork in 1845. UCC, which has a current enrolment of over 18,600 students, provides over 120 degree and professional programmes given through some 60 Disciplines and offers a research-led curriculum that attracts the highest calibre of students. UCC consistently delivers a globally significant contribution in research and in teaching and learning, which has secured the University a place in the top 3% of Universities worldwide in the Times Higher Education University Ranking (2009).
In the past seven years and as part of its strategic plan, the College of Medicine and Health has undergone significant expansion involving a growth from three to seven Schools, an increase in student numbers to 3,000 and the establishment of an increased number of professional and postgraduate programmes offered. To deliver this plan the College has invested in state of the art purpose built facilities including the Brookfield Health Sciences Complex and has grown its income from research and teaching to €50 million per annum.
