UG Prospectus 2025

At DCU, our energy is directed to ensuring that everyone who enrols with us gets the ‘transformative student experience’ they deserve. I hope that this prospectus gives you a sense of how our innovative courses, dedicated staff, world-class facilities and life-changing opportunities achieve this aim - developing graduates who are ready for success in the workplace and in the world. I am glad to tell you that the excellence of DCU’s offering is reflected across the recent global university rankings. We are among the top two percent of universities worldwide and are No.1 in Ireland in the Times Higher Education Young University Rankings. DCU’s graduate employment rate is also the best in Ireland. This is thanks to our industry-relevant courses, which are designed to keep abreast of the latest workplace developments. Meanwhile, we focus on developing the transferable skills that graduates need to flourish in the modern workplace, and our INTRA internship programme gives students vital real-world experience in their chosen field. Of course, life at DCU isn’t just about academic and professional achievement. It’s an opportunity to build confidence and character; a place where life-long friendships flourish and passions are pursued. Our vibrant campus culture boasts more than 120 clubs and societies, state-of-the-art sports facilities, and rewarding volunteering opportunities - all of which allow for personal growth and discovery. Another unique feature of life at DCU is our Care & Connect initiative. This programme of supports and services promotes students’ health and well- being and is the first of its kind in Ireland. Care & Connect reflects DCU’s ‘people first’ values and our passionate commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind. DCU is a university where personal and professional dreams are realised. Now that you have had a taste of what we offer, we warmly invite you to visit us on campus to see for yourself what life at DCU is like. I look forward to seeing you here!
