Dublin, Ireland | ucd.ie/global
Located just 4 miles from the center of Ireland’s capital city, UCD students have access to museums, nightlife, and internship and career opportunities right on our doorstep. Dublin has one of the youngest populations in Europe and this makes it an amazing city in which to attend college, with something always going on! UCD fosters an especially great international student support system with a global lounge, on-campus accommodation, and over 160 clubs and societies. UCD offers over 70 undergraduate degrees, including our Liberal Arts and Sciences program for students who may be undecided (unique entry pathway in Europe!) and many direct entry program options.
