Write for the Express!

It all begins with an idea.

The UCC Express wants to hear from you! This is a space for students to come together and have their say. The student voice is at the heart of Cork’s university paper, and it’s our mission to amplify it where and when we can.

From investigative pieces tackling local and international conflict, to reviews of local talent, to in-depth discussions of the latest trends, we want to read it all. There is always a story to be told, and we want to give you the power to tell it.

Our paper is proud to be the home of high-quality writing, created by students, for students. If you have an article, or just an idea, that you’d like to share with us, please contact the relevant editor. Emails can be found on our submissions page.

All queries or articles can additionaly be sent to the Editor-in-Chief: claire.watson@ucc.ie
