DCU
IFSA - DUBLIN CITY UNIVERSITY 
Geotag  Dublin, Ireland

WHY STUDY IN DUBLIN?
Ireland’s largest city and capital, Dublin is an economic center with one of the fastest growing populations of any European capital city. A vibrant cultural scene is dominant throughout the city and includes music of all kinds, theater, art, and literary activities. Lively restaurants, pubs and clubs line the streets, providing a wealth of options for weekend entertainment.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Finding STEM classes abroad can be challenging. Just north of Dublin, Dublin City University offers great access to classes in health sciences, engineering, and computing, as well as business, humanities, and education.

Known for innovative teaching, DCU is steadily climbing the Young University ranks (for universities 50 years of age and under), reaching 89 out of 600+ schools in 2023. The emphasis on innovation shows up in its facilities and the wealth of opportunities for students to get involved.

Enjoy the international vibe created by students from 128 nations. And as you get to know your campus—actually a cluster of campuses in a 1.5-mile radius—you’ll also have a wealth of opportunities to get to know Dublin and its people and explore Ireland’s stunning castle-studded landscapes.

Get to know more of Ireland with IFSA excursions (included, no extra fees!). Students often explore the stunning West Coast and Kilkenny, a medieval city where you can get your fill of artisan foods and try your hand at the Gaelic sport, hurling.

When studying at Dublin City University, select from five study abroad streams, which broadly match DCU’s five faculties.
  • Business School
  • Education
  • Engineering and Computing
  • Humanities and Social Sciences
  • Science and Health
