Launching this semester’s programme, Regina Sexton, Short Course Coordinator at UCC’s

ACE said:

“As UCC celebrates over twenty years of offering short courses to the general public, we're

very happy to present a new programme of 26 courses for Spring 2025. While these courses

showcase the research strengths of the university community, we are also aware of the

social importance of these courses for participants.

“The courses not only help students to extend their knowledge, but they are also spaces

where students can make new connections in a friendly environment of like-minded peers. In

a time when isolation and loneliness are unfortunate realities for many people, these short

courses bring people together in the classroom and on fieldtrips and they are an enjoyable

way of meeting new acquaintances and in developing new ways of looking at the world,” she

said.
