UCD Access & Lifelong Learning


At UCD we are committed to broadening the range of opportunities for students with diverse backgrounds to participate in our educational programmes. Many people want the chance to study at university, but for one reason or another they have not had the opportunity to do so. Access & Lifelong Learning works closely with University colleagues to support this wide range of students to pursue their studies successfully.


Services are provided for: students with disabilities, mature students, and students who, for a variety of economic or social reasons, are under-represented in the University.


We run a number of initiatives to ensure equal access to UCD including:


A Flexible entry pathways to study at UCD, including special entry routes on the grounds of mature years, disability and socio-economic grouping.


A Access to Arts & Human Sciences Programme, and Access to Science & Engineering Programme.


A Provision of advice and support so all students can participate fully in university life.


A Outreach activities with special links to schools, colleges of further education and community groups, offering off-campus and on-campus information workshops, taster activities, interactive projects and academic support.
