Welcome to Cork!
Location - Cork CORK ENGLISH COLLEGE occupies three beautiful buildings in the heart of Cork City, on the banks of the River Lee in South-West Ireland. Cork City is a university city with many 3rd level universities located here. It is built on two islands and the river Lee flows like a lifeline through the city with beautiful bridges interweaving and connecting the islands. Cork International Airport is approximately 4km from the city centre and provides access to a host of international destinations. The city itself has a rich heritage with many museums, art galleries and theatres intermingling with all the amenities of a modern city. With a relatively small population of approximately 200,000 in Cork and its suburbs it provides all the conveniences of the city in a safe and friendly environment where students can learn and interact with the local population. .
According to The Lonely Planet Travel Guide,
Cork City is one of the top 10 cities in the world to visit.

1 city…3 schools: CEC has three beautiful waterfront buildings in the heart of Cork city centre. One sits on Patricks Quay and towers over the picturesque River Lee. Our second school stands high & majestic on Patricks Hill and our headquarters is housed in a stunning historic building that is located on Patricks Bridge. All three of our buildings are steeped in history and reflect Cork through the ages. Each were individually renovated so that their exteriors retain the unique historic beauty and the interiors are bright, modern and spacious. Our headquarters on Patricks Bridge is our most recently acquired building. We moved here in 2011. This building dates back to 1845 and was most recently occupied by a bank. Many of the old features of this bank have been retained. All our buildings are fully equipped and CEC is proud to provide the most modern facilities including cinema rooms, IT rooms, common rooms, a library, academic reception, outside areas and over 30 classrooms. All three buildings are within a 2 minute walk of each other making CEC an accessible, convenient and desirable choice. CEC is an Authorised Cambridge Examination Testing Centre for FCE and CAE exams. CEC is also an authorised IELTS examination centre. Our investigation into the possibility of using renewable resources is on-going so CEC’s carbon footprint is continuously shrinking… If you plan on visiting Cork, please contact us and we will show you around...
