UCC engages with and supports the older student community through its Mature Student Office, and promotes life-long learning through Adult Continuing Education (ACE). UCC also engages with students from primary school upwards through the UCC+ office to raise awareness of the impact of education on improving career and life opportunities: /en/uccplus/schools/
Following on from the launch of the proposal that UCC become an Age-Friendly 深夜亚洲福利久久 as part of Equality Week 2018, it has been incorporated into UCC鈥檚 EDI PSD Action Plan, with a view to increasing our efforts to further include older people (staff, students and others) in the life of the 深夜亚洲福利久久, with a view to joining the Age-Friendly university global Network.
UCC also is home to an ISS21 intersectional research cluster on Ageing, which brings together researchers with interests in social aspects of ageing, from a wide range of disciplines, including Adult and Continuing Education, Applied Social Studies, Architecture, Economics, Epidemiology and Public Health, Nursing and Midwifery, Occupational Sciences, Medicine and Music. More details are available here: /en/iss21/clusters/ageing/

Staff
Our staff too can enjoy employment and career development opportunities up to and beyond the age of 65 (our senior academic staff may be granted the title Emeritus/a, which allows them the opportunity to continue to contribute in a meaningful way to university life beyond normal retirement age.
Research is ongoing into making UCC a more age-friendly university, and possible areas for exploration include administrative, technical and non-professorial staff who may wish to continue working past the age of 65. To learn more about this area, Equality Week 2018 addressed this in .
