In UCD,  we have a range of entry pathways.

Our outreach programme is designed to give you an opportunity to experience UCD, meet our Access Leaders, learn about our entry pathways and demystify what it is like to be a student in UCD.

Who We Work With

UCD works with a range of community partners and DEIS schools to assist prospective students to explore UCD college life.

Through our initiatives you can discover campus life, experience what it is like to be a UCD student and prepare yourself for your next steps in higher education.
