UCC & Cork Opera House Partnership

UCC & Cork Opera House Partnership

In 2018, Cork Opera House and University College Cork launched a unique 8-year partnership entitled Creating Together. The partnership is the first of its kind in the country, establishing Cork Opera House as a Learning Theatre, and creating opportunities for students in the School of Film, Music and Theatre to gain meaningful professional experience in the arts industry during their studies. Throughout this partnership, the two institutions will collaborate on every level to identify opportunities that will have a significant impact on the arts industry into the future.

Cork Opera House and UCC collaborate on a number of projects under this partnership:

  •  The MA programme in Arts Management and Creative Producing
  • A joint Theatre Artist-in-Residence programme
  • Joint-funded PhD and MRes programmes
  • Internships and placements for students in the School of Film, Music and Theatre across various departments of the business, including areas of organisational management, marketing, production, business development and stage management.
