Welcome to the UCD New ERA (Equal Right to Access) website.
UCD New ERA aims to encourage and facilitate increased participation in higher education by students who, for a variety of economic or social reasons are under-represented in university.
The programme works in close partnership with primary and second level schools, as well as the local community to delivery an extensive outreach programme.
UCD New ERA facilitates students who have the ability to benefit and succeed in higher education to access reserved places in UCD.
Having achieved entry to the University the programme then enables students to participate fully in UCD life and reach their full potential
