Dublin City University (DCU) is one of Ireland’s youngest and most progressive universities. Voted the “Top Irish University” in 2004 by the Sunday Irish Times, DCU is home to more than 10,000 students from all over the world. When it comes to teaching and learning you will find that DCU’s academic system is loosely based upon the American system (unlike most other Irish universities) where you will have “continual assessment” rather than only having one or two projects/presentations decide your entire grade. That being said, there is much more responsibility placed upon the student for learning the material than in the U.S. Complementing DCU’s strong academics are facilities that rival even the best U.S. universities. There are television and sound studios, computer labs and networking facilities, state-of-the-art science labs, and graphic design facilities. You will be directly enrolled in classes at the University meaning that you will have full integration into Irish academic life.

The Center for International Studies does not charge
for its services in preparing you for studying for a full degree at one
of our partner institutions, therefore you will be responsible for paying
only the direct fees charged by the university you attend. Unlike U.S.
institutions, overseas universities charge different fees for different
programs. An example would be that if you are interested in a program
in the Humanities you would probably pay less than in the Sciences where
lab expenses would be included. |

A young, vibrant city, Dublin ranks among the top tourist destinations in Europe, and for good reason. While a noteworthy capital city with a strong sense of history and culture, it is at the same time down-to-earth and friendly. Whole areas of the city, like Temple Bar, buzz with energy and creativity. As the Irish would say, Dublin is full of the “craic” - good times, liveliness, and style. |

A large part of student life at DCU takes place away
from campus in the city of Dublin. With just over a million people, the
city is a student’s dream. Great nightlife, music, theatre, shopping,
and eating are all at your fingertips and just a short bus ride or cab
ride from the University campus and your housing. |

DCU offers you the possibility to live on or off campus.
