If you joined CCCU through Clearing share your support for the process and where it has taken you. Let us know in the comments below what you studied and what career you’re in now!

As we prepare for the new academic year, we are as always looking at our service and identifying ways we can improve to support the ever-changing needs of our students. One thing we are curious to improve is the opening times for the drop-in Hub in Augustine House library. We currently run the Hub 10:00-16:00 Monday-Friday, but below are some alternatives we've considered. All listed options are Monday-Friday. If you do not see your preferred times listed, please drop your suggestions in the comments! 👇 #CCCUCareers
