Cork
Cork is situated in the beautiful south of Ireland. It is the country's second city and has a population of 160,000. A prosperous commercial and banking centre, Cork is a beautiful city to wander around, with its remarkable charm and unique atmosphere created by 19th century narrow lanes and markets. Built on an island between the two main channels of the River Lee, Cork is a city of hills and steps, quays and bridges, Georgian houses, spires and pedestrian walkways.
Cork and its region have a rich archaeological, cultural and literary heritage. Renowned for its art, music, literature and craft, the city's unique character was recognised in its selection as the European Capital of Culture in 2005. Cork annually hosts international festivals of Film, Jazz, Folk Dance and Choral Music. Visitors to Cork enjoy the exciting entertainment and vibrant nightlife, with numerous theatres, restaurants and pubs.
Cork people are friendly, talkative and humorous. They enjoy meeting people from other countries and are famous for their hospitality. Our students comment on how relaxed they feel in Cork. It is a true microcosm of all Ireland and an ideal location for study. "There are no strangers, only friends you haven't met".
