Griffith College Cork (GCC) is a private third level (higher education) college which merged with Skerry's College Cork in 2005. Griffith College Cork runs degree and diploma programmes in Business, Law, Computing, Media & Journalism, Pharmaceutical Management, and Professional Accountancy as well as evening courses in Marketing Management, Business Management, Human Resource Management and Digital Marketing. Pharmaceutical Management is an MSc in International Pharmaceutical Business Management (QQI - Level 9). It will be offered on a full and part-time basis.

All the undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses are validated by QQI and a number of them require application via the Irish CAO system.

Full-time undergraduate QQI level 6, 7 & 8 courses were also validated to receive tax relief under the Irish Governments 1997 Act.[1][2]

In August 2009 Griffith College Cork moved from its Patrick's Hill buildings to a new location on Cove Street, Sullivan's Quay, Cork, County Cork.[3] In 2014 the college moved to its new, permanent location occupying the former Marymount Hospice on Wellington Road, overlooking the city.
