University College Dublin (UCD) is Ireland's
largest and most richly diversified university
with over 22,000 students. The University traces
its origins to the Catholic University of Ireland
founded in 1854 by Cardinal John Henry Newman,
author of the celebrated 'The Idea of a University'.
Since then, the University has played a central role
in Ireland's advancement as a successful European
state and has established a distinguished record
of service to scholarship and to the Irish and
international community.
Today, UCD (www.ucd.ie) is a vibrant, modern and research-intensive
university situated on a spacious and leafy campus of 350 acres some
four kilometers to the south of Dublin city centre. For students, both
Irish and international, it is a supportive and stimulating environment
in which to spend a period of intellectual and personal development.
UCD is currently leading the way to 4th Level Ireland with the
introduction of five new graduate schools providing innovative,
modular programmes and researcher training of international status.
These graduate schools are closely linked to UCD's research institutes
and will foster collaborative programmes and exchange arrangements
with leading universities around the world. UCD is a member of
Universitas 21, an international network of distinguished research-intensive
universities.
UCD offers a lively campus community in which to live and study. The
University has modern buildings and first class academic and sporting
facilities. It has a busy extracurricular life and students are encouraged
to become actively involved in the wide range of social, cultural and
sporting activities available. UCD also has comprehensive student
support services, including a student health centre, student advisors,
counseling, and careers advisory facilities. Student accommodation is
