Our Growth Over 10 Years
Established over a decade ago, the UCD South Asia Global Centre has grown significantly to become one of UCD’s most active regional hubs. What began in 2014 with a team of two has expanded to a dynamic team of 12 professionals today, including a staff member based in Mumbai.
The Centre has played a pivotal role in connecting UCD with partners, institutions, and students across the region. In 2014, fewer than 100 South Asian students were enrolled at UCD. Today, more than 1,800 students from South Asia are studying at our Dublin campus, reflecting the Centre’s sustained engagement, support, and outreach over the last decade.
This growth underscores UCD’s long-term commitment to South Asia’s education and innovation priorities, and our dedication to deepening connections between Ireland and the region.
