Faculty-led Study Tours

Why UCD?

University College Dublin is Ireland’s largest and most international university. It offers world-class academic, residential and sporting facilities, and is within easy reach of Dublin city centre and the magnificent Irish countryside, along with a host of cultural and visitor attractions. UCD is the first choice among Irish students looking to pursue a third level education.

For more and more students, a Summer Programme abroad is an invaluable part of their education, exposing them to a new culture, new ideas, new experiences – and a new outlook on life. At UCD, we fully appreciate the importance of studying abroad, and understand its role in igniting cultural curiousity and creating better people.

(opens in a new window)UCD is located on a modern campus in the heart of a leafy residential area on Dublin’s Southside close to the city centre. Security is an important part of our offering, with round-the-clock monitoring by an in-house team of experts. Dublin, too, is a very safe city by international standards.

Time and again, our overseas students tell us that what they like most about their visit to Ireland are their interactions with the ordinary Irish people, whether asking for directions, meeting up with friendly locals.
