MEDICAL
All medical students in UCC are automatically members of
its Medical Society (MedSoc), but we welcome any students
interested in medicine or medical research. We pride ourselves
on having a great diversity of members, arguably the best of
all UCC’s societies. Starting with 17 year olds coming straight
from Leaving Cert to postgraduates and mature students who
have been in other professions for the last 20 years. We also
have students from dozens of countries around the globe
and this is reflected in our events, as there is something for
everyone. We host talks on various aspects of medicine and
research.

We have plans in the pipeline for new workshops and talks
on wellbeing and mental health. Additionally, members can
enter the highly competitive MedCup or hit the slopes in the
post-Christmas-exams ski trip. We also hold a great number
of social events, with our biggest being the batshit crazy night
that is MedBall. We understand that studying medicine is an
absolute trek at the best of times, so above all else we aim to
keep members sane, provide information about what we will
face as doctors and provide premium laughs whenever we
can. Ye guys will need the latter for FM1010-may the odds be
ever in your favour.

MUSIC
Having been declared Ireland’s Best New Society of
2015/16, UCC Music Society enters just its second year in
existence. The Society is the birth-child of two former music
societies: Live Music Society and Capriccio Music Society.
The society’s sole aim is to ensure that UCC students have a
great time playing, listening and engaging with music while
at UCC. We promote music on campus, through events
ranging from small get-togethers like Coffee and Jam to live
gigs like our Battle of the Bands competition. We are an allgenre inclusive society and last year, we held events such

as metal gigs, a records fair on campus, Swing-dancing
Lessons during Cork Jazz week, film screenings, PA training,
an Accapella Workshop as well as a Muso’s Match-Making
night. The two biggest events of the year are the annual UCC
Battle of the Bands Competition as well as last years newly
conceived UCC Songwriters Competition. The Music Society
also helped in reestablishing the All-Ireland Intervarsities
Battle of the Bands competition even going on to host it last
year. So if you’re a musician, a songwriter or simply a musiclover, why not get involved with the society this year?
