Enjoy diverse study and cultural opportunities at Ireland’s largest university

University College Dublin (UCD) combines the excitement of living in Dublin with the convenience and space of studying at a vibrant suburban campus only 3 miles from the city center. With over 26,000 students, UCD is the largest university in Ireland, with the most international student body.

Some of the subjects you can choose from at UCD, across multiple disciplines, include architecture, history, English literature, languages, politics, economics, geography, music, philosophy, biology, chemistry, physics and engineering. UCD divides into seven colleges: Arts, Celtic Studies and Human Sciences; Quinn School of Business; Engineering and Architecture; Agriculture, Food Science and Nutrition; Science.

I chose Dublin because I wanted to get used to an urban environment of a comfortable size to further gain comfort in other cities around the U.S. and the world. Arcadia's program gave me the tools and advice I needed to take advantage of time I was given in Ireland. ”
