Student supports:

A campus as large as UCD can be overwhelming for some students, and it can often be difficult to find the right support for you. From health services to specific programme advisers, student welfare and support is at the heart of UCD. There are a number of support services available here.

You can also talk to a student advisor here.

For any of you coming from abroad, UCD Global has a range of international supports as well as a great programme of events, including movie nights and international events. This is a great way to get involved, meet other students and feel at home in UCD.

For any queries on fees, registration or transcripts, you should contact the Student Desk.

The UCD Library provides a wide range of services for students including study group rooms and laptop loans. There are five libraries in UCD, with the main James Joyce Library located in the centre of the Belfield campus. The James Joyce Library is also home to the Writing Support Centre, where students can get free one-to-one tuition to improve these skills.
