From 29 August to 1 September, UCC will be home to the second summer school for deaf and hard of hearing students entering any third level institution nationally.
The summer school is part of the national Deaf Needs Assessment project funded by the Higher Education Authority (Strategic Initiatives Scheme) to increase the numbers of deaf and hard of hearing students in third level education in Ireland.
Last year the first summer school was held in Trinity College Dublin.
Ms Shirley Flanagan, UCC’s Advisor to Students with Sensory Disabilities, said that a variety of lectures and workshops, that would be presented in both Irish Sign Language and Speed Text, is certain to provide students with ways of dealing with the challenges of third level education in addition to providing an opportunity to meet other students and form friendships of mutual interest.
