Cork is Ireland's second largest city. Located in the South of the country it enjoys closeness to the breath-taking beauty of the South-West of Ireland as well as charming mountains and clean, quiet beaches.

   The city is host to many international festivals each year and so attracts people from around the world. Cork hopes to gain the title of European City of Culture in the next few years.

    Cork offers a safe and friendly environment in which to live, learn and enjoy life in Ireland. Unlike other cities in Ireland, Cork's foreign student population is quite small. This means that you have more opportunities to share in the everyday life of native Irish people.
