On June 1st 2005, Skerry’s Cork Business School merged with Griffith College Dublin. We are looking forward to exciting times ahead – and we hope you will share them with us.

Griffith College Dublin was established in 1974 and has a student population of approximately 8,000. Courses are offered in the Faculties of Business and Finance, Journalism, Law, Design and Computing Science in the Dublin campus.

Skerry’s has been at the forefront of education in Cork since 1884, and has a long history of providing quality education. We look forward to continuing this tradition as Griffith College Cork.

The College campus is located on St. Patrick’s Hill, just a five minute walk from St. Patrick’s Street, the main shopping street in Cork city centre. It is approximately one kilometre from the main train station serving a wide variety of towns and cities. The main bus station is a five minute walk from the College and most bus routes start and terminate there.

Entertainment and Events:

A network of class representatives liaise with College officials to address student issues of both an academic and social nature. They also organise an annual Graduation Ball.

Computing Facilities:

70 fully networked workstations are located in the College’s four computer laboratories. All computing resources are maintained by the College’s dedicated IT Services Team. Printing and photocopying facilities are available to students (using a swipe card system) in the Open Lab, Library and Student Print Room. Many of our lecture rooms accommodate the use of television and video as teaching tools.

Radio Studio:

The College has a fully equipped radio station, which is used by Journalism and Media Students.

Career Placement Service:

We have offered a Careers Placement Service for many years. Our Administration and Office Skills graduates in particular, are much sought after in Cork and will often find employment in professional practices with doctors, solicitors and accountants, as well as the financial services sector. In recent years, we have extended the Placement Service to other courses including Accountancy and Business Studies.

Student Information:

We also arrange an induction for all new students. These inductions will introduce you to key staff members and make you aware of student services. Additionally, lecturers will present you with an overview of your chosen course. Student handbooks will be issued during induction week. It will guide you through everything from lecture room locations to College regulations. The College intranet offers information and guidelines required by students, staff and lecturers. Students can log onto the system – either from home or from one of the College network points – and access lecture notes, examination material, library resources along with a host of additional information to make student life easier.
