Spread across 130 hectares of Parkland Estate, the University College Dublin’s main campus is located south of the city centre of Dublin, Ireland’s capital city.
Also called Baile Átha Cliath (“Town of the Ford of the Hurdle”), Dublin is located on the east coast of Ireland in the province of Leinster.
Situated at the head of Dublin Bay, a C-shaped inlet of the Irish Sea, Dublin is the country’s chief port, centre of financial and commercial power, and seat of culture.
A warm and welcoming city, Dublin is known for the friendliness of its people. The Irish Capital’s craic (“crack”) - a mixture of repartee, humour, intelligence, and acerbic and deflating insight, has attracted writers, intellectuals, and visitors from all over the world for centuries.
A city of contrasts, Dublin maintains an uneasy relationship between reminders of the politics and economic life of the past and symbols of present-day life and prosperity.
Some of the city’s finest monumental buildings stand on the north riverbank along with the city’s poorest sections, maintaining its curious juxtaposition between the aristocratic and impoverished. The city also balances the traditional alongside the contemporary well.
Though the Irish have a distinct culture, tradition, and customs, Dublin is still a melting pot. The largest city in Ireland, Dublin’s fast-growing immigrant population brings people from all over the world, infiltrating the city with a host of glorious international influences. The impact of these cultures is evident in the city’s diverse and vibrant culinary scene.
Cultural diversity in a major capital city normally equals diverse cuisine, and Dublin is no different. Ireland’s economic revival in the 1990s birthed a culinary renaissance of new, sophisticated restaurants that ditched the traditional meat and potatoes for more lively European cuisine. You’ll now find a great mix of restaurants offering an astounding diversity of food options.
With all that said, Dublin has managed to hold on to some of its classic and easily distinguishable characteristics. The Irish traditions, such as folklore, customary music and dance, fine literature, and fresh pints of Guinness are never in short supply.
Symbols of the Irish capital’s strong sense of history such as the magnificent Christ Church Cathedral, the National Ireland Museum, Dublin Writers Museum, James Joyce Centre, and Dublinia and the Viking World, are also some of its most notable attractions.
Getting to these, as well as other top attractions, is also a cinch thanks to the city’s compact size.
Dublin’s walkability, duality, diversity, and many tourist attractions lend to a great experience for international students and tourists alike. No wonder it is ranked as the Best Place to Visit in Ireland and 16th best in Europe in the U.S. News & World Report travel rankings.
With a student body of over 30,000 students, of which over 8,000 are international students from more than 130 countries, the University College Dublin (UCD) is Ireland’s largest and most international university.
Students are attracted to the strength of UCD’s teaching, research, and academic offerings. It offers the widest range of programmes recognised by academic institutions and employers worldwide from any university in Ireland.
Ireland’s leader in postgraduate education, UCD was named among the best universities globally in the study of 38 subjects in the 2021 edition of the QS World University Subject Rankings, with Veterinary Science being its best performing subject.
The university also placed in the top 50 in three other subject areas, namely Sports-related Subjects (34th), Library & Information Management (45th), and Petroleum Engineering (50th).
One of Europe’s leading research-intensive universities, UCD is ranked inside the top 1% (173rd) overall of higher education institutions worldwide in the 2022 QS World University Rankings.
Adding to the university’s overall ranking, it has one of the largest urban campuses in Europe. The main Dublin campus occupies an extensive parkland estate of 133 hectares and is home to some world-leading facilities, including the UCD O’Brien Centre for Science, the UCD Student Centre, UCD Sutherland School of Law, and the UCD Lochlan Quinn School of Business.
One of Ireland’s foremost connected and networked universities, UCD has global centres across the world in New York, Beijing, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur and Delhi.
Recognised as one of Europe’s largest archives of oral tradition and cultural history, many of UCD’s over 250,000 alumni have made their mark in other areas of industry, including the fields of engineering, science, sport, and public life, in Ireland and abroad.
The university also has a very high graduate employment rate. In 2020, for the third year in a row, UCD was the leading university in Ireland and 75th worldwide in the QS Graduate Employability Rankings.
Your time at the University College Dublin (UCD) won’t be only about academic excellence.
As Ireland’s largest university, UCD offers a full suite of services, opportunities to engage in extracurricular activities, and outstanding facilities to support the personal development of its students.
With an unsurpassed range of clubs and societies (over 100), UCD students are among the most engaged in Ireland.
There are multiple opportunities for students to get involved in exciting initiatives related to their specific disciplines and to explore new interests and friendships.
UCD is also home to more than 60 different student societies catering to the arts, music, sport, and different religious groups.
No matter what your passion, or ability levels, UCD sports clubs provide a large range of opportunities to train, play, and compete in sports.
This is primarily due to the UCD possessing the most diverse set of student facilities at any university in Ireland. Because of this it’s no surprise the Student Centre and the UCD Sport and Fitness complex are the hubs of student life on campus.
UCD has a multitude of facilities and amenities that are designed to encourage its students to get involved in clubs and societies and stay fit and healthy during their time at the university.
Student Centre facilities include a state-of-the-art 3D cinema, drama theatre, 600-seat auditorium, TV studio, radio pod, seminar room, medical centre, pharmacy, bar and function room, cafés, and shops.
From a 50-metre swimming pool, three multi-purpose sports halls, four squash courts, 17 natural grass pitches, six synthetic 5-a-side pitches, to the National Hockey Stadium, the university’s range of world-class sports facilities are quite extensive. Its modern Sport and Fitness Centre has a wide range of amenities, including gyms that cater to students of all fitness levels.
Founded in 1854, the University College Dublin (UCD) has over 160 years of heritage. UCD opened its doors as the Catholic University of Ireland on the feast of St Malachy, on 3 November.
The Catholic University Medical School was opened a year later on Cecilia Street.
The University Education (Ireland) Act 1879 facilitated the establishment of the Royal University of Ireland.

In 2010, an academic alliance was formed with the National College of Art and Design (NCAD). Three years later, the UCD O’Brien Centre for Science and the UCD Sutherland School of Law, now the largest Common Law law school in the European Union, opened.
In 2015, a global centre was opened in the US.
UCD became the first Irish university to launch a Black Studies module in 2019.
