UCD's campus nestled in emerald green just south of Dublin.

Experience Ireland's lyrical landscape and vibrant city life firsthand! Find out for yourself how the emerald isle's population 'saved civilization' from barbarians thanks to diligent scribes, and how the country, crippled by a great potato famine, was able to rise to great prominence in the EU community. Immerse yourself in rich Irish history and the company of charming locals, while living and studying in Dublin.

The University College Dublin traces its origins to the Catholic University of Ireland founded in 1854 with Cardinal John Henry Newman, author of the celebrated 'The Idea of a University', as its first rector. Since then UCD has played a central role in Ireland 's advancement as a dynamic and highly successful European state and has welcomed international students from over 50 countries. Today UCD is a vibrant modern institution and is the largest university in Ireland with over 20,000 students.
