The World at UCD

With over 130 nationalities represented within the student body, UCD seeks and supports diverse voices. While distinctly Irish, UCD has a global outlook, and is an intellectual destination for students, faculty, and staff from every region to study, teach, and work. As well as amenities like five woodland walks across the parkland campus, students benefit from some of the best learning, sport, and social facilities in the world.

Global Curriculum

UCD provides an international context for the educational experience, whilst giving students the tools to contribute proactively to the international community as global citizens, and preparing them for life and work across borders and cultures.
