GEOLOGY
UCC Geological Society is down to Earth; we rock and we’ re not just saying that! We know the three types of rock are punk, hard and classical and we know if something is gneiss you shouldn’ t take it for granite. Whether you’ re a die-hard geology student or you just have an interest in our natural world, UCC Geological Society is the one for you. GeoSoc has been at the forefront of offering students a whole array of events in the last few years including trips to iconic Irish geological landmarks like the Cliffs of Moher, to movie screenings. We organise talks with resident and visiting scientists and explorers to allow an insight into the type of work the world of Geology has to offer.
From our annual Geoweek to our bake sales for local charities, our society has always been about involving the masses of our student body. This year sees the first annual Gold Rush competition commence. Explore the entire campus in search for treasures to win a tonne of earth-shattering prizes. GeoSoc aims to provide a foundation for UCC students to interact, gain knowledge and appreciation for the geological world and to provide a bridge for students and staff of the geological department. With course content focused talks, UCC geology students have another aspect to their studies in Cork. You’ re guaranteed to come away from UCC GeoSoc having learned something new!

GERMAN
Guten Tag! As you’ ve probably figured out from the heading, we are the German society, celebrating all things Deutsch. So why might you want to join the German society this year? Lesen Sie weiter! Firstly, Stammtisch’ s. These are our regular social events where we meet up and honestly just have a good laugh and chat. They’ re great fun and don’ t worry if you’ re nervous about having to speak German excellently while you’ re there, the events are very relaxed and there’ s no pressure at all to not speak English if you don’ t want to. Also, expect a lot of Haribo’ s, pretzels and Milka chocolate from us, especially during our film screenings.
These usually take place every month or so and are an excellent way to immerse yourself in German culture and just chill out. On top of this, we’ re always on hand to try and help you, the students, out with anything related to Erasmus as that can be quite daunting and confusing, the language and just anything German when possible. We hope at this stage you’ re convinced to join us. We’ re great craic like. Auf unser Party geht es hoch her. To keep up to date with us, follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook where we just hit 1,000 likes and celebrated 40 years as a society and we hope to see you soon! Bis demnächst! german @ uccsocieties. ie uccgermansociety uccgermansoc
