UCD Experience


Welcome from the President


UCD is Ireland’s global university. There are over 6,000 international students here, making this a very cosmopolitan campus. In addition, the opportunities to study abroad at some of the world’s top universities give Irish students an international education that prepares them to take their place in the global society.


When I first arrived on campus I felt a great sense of excitement and opportunity. I came to University College Dublin from Durham University in the UK and before that, from the University of Western Australia, Perth. I came to UCD because of the quality of this university’s academic teaching and research and because of the vibrancy of the UCD community and its global perspective.


Through UCD Horizons, our students take elective modules as part of their undergraduate degrees. Taking modules from within the degree area enables students to delve deeper into their favourite subjects. Choosing modules from outside their degree area broadens their knowledge and gives them the opportunity to add to their skills. All of our degrees focus on learning outcomes so that students know they are getting the very best quality education.


As you consider your future, I hope that this prospectus will give you a flavour of the breadth of opportunity that awaits you here. I invite you to find out as much as you can about the subjects that may interest you. You can start with this prospectus, but you will learn so much more from the website and from talking to family and friends who came here ahead of you.


Your university experience can be a journey of academic and personal discovery. So, learn as much as you can about the UCD environment; the societies and sports, the events, the facilities and great campus. Getting involved in university life, combined with your studies, will equip you with the knowledge and skills you will need for your journey in life.


Is é UCD an ollscoil dhomhanda in Éirinn. Tá níos mó ná 6,000 mac léinn iasachta anseo, rud a fhágann blas na hiléagsúlachta ar an gcampas. Anuas air sin, fágann an deis a bhíonn ag mic léinn na hÉireann dul thar lear ag staidéar i gcuid d’ollscoileanna móra an domhain, oideachas idirnáisiúnta orthu agus iad ullamh le páirt a ghlacadh i bpobal domhanda.


Ar a theacht don UCD champas dom den chéad uair, bhí mé ar bís mar gheall ar na deiseanna a bhí romham. Tháinig mé go dtí an Coláiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath as Durham University sa Ríocht Aontaithe agus ón University of Western Australia i bPeairt na hAstráile roimhe sin. Ardchaighdeán an teagaisc agus na taighde a thug go UCD mé, chomh maith le beocht phobal na hOllscoile agus an dearcadh domhanda.


TríUCD Horizons, tugann na mic léinn faoi mhodúil roghnacha mar chuid den bhunchéim. Ligeann modúil a roghnú taobh istigh de réimse na céime do na mic léinn cíoradh níos mine a dhéanamh ar na réimsí is spéisiúla dóibh. Ligeann modúil taobh amuigh d’ábhar na céime a roghnú dóibh eolas a chur ar réimse níos fairsinge agus cur lena gcuid scileanna. Bíonn ár gcuid céimeanna ar fad dírithe ar thorthaí foghlama ionas go dtuigeann na mic léinn go bhfuil oideachas den chéad scoth á chur orthu.


Tá súil agam go dtugann an réamheolaire seo blas duit ar na deiseanna forleathana atá le tapú anseo agat agus tú ag smaoineamh ar a bhfuil romhat sa saol. Molaim duit oiread agus is féidir a fháil amach faoi na hábhair a mbeadh suim agat iontu. Tá buneolas le fáil sa réamheolaire seo ach tá cuid mhór eolais eile le fáil ar an láithreán gréasáin agus ó labhairt le daoine a tháinig ag an gcoláiste roimhe seo.


Bíonn an fhoghlaim acadúil agus an fhoghlaim phearsanta i gceist le do chuid ollscolaíochta. Cuir eolas chomh mór agus is féidir leat ar an saol i UCD; ar na cumainn, ar chúrsaí spóirt, ar na himeachtaí, na háiseanna agus ar an gcampas breá. Nuair a bhítear páirteach i saol na hollscoile, chomh maith leis an obair léinn, gnóthaítear eolas agus scileanna a sheasann le duine ar feadh a shaoil.
