University College Cork (UCC)

University College Cork (UCC) is a constituent university of the National University of Ireland in Cork, Ireland.

The institution began as one of three Queen's Colleges in Belfast, Cork, and Galway in 1845. Under the Irish Universities Act of 1908, it was renamed University College, Cork. The university was designated National University of Ireland, Cork by the Universities Act of 1997, and by a Ministerial Order of 1998, it was renamed University College Cork – National University of Ireland, Cork, however it is still virtually widely known as University College Cork.

The provisions of an act enabling Queen Victoria to endow new colleges for the "Advancement of Learning in Ireland" led to the establishment of Queen's College, Cork. On December 30, 1845, the three colleges of Belfast, Cork, and Galway were incorporated under the provisions of this statute. Medicine, Arts, and Law were the three initial faculties when the college started in 1849 with 23 professors and 181 students. The college became part of the Queen's University of Ireland a year later.
