DISCLAIMER!!!
UCC as a top-notch educational institution, has loads of questions in its bank and is
well versed in the setting of examination questions. The likelihood of shying away from
past questions and setting totally new questions from the modules is very high, and
candidates are hereby cautioned not to rely ENTIRELY on past questions; neglecting
their modules in the process. Thank you.
