Dublin City University is hightly regarded
and is ranked in the top 4% of universitys, worldwide.
We insure that our students are equipped to be successful in the workplace
and in society
and we're constantly improving the quality of our degree programmes
I choose DCU because i always wanted to go to Ireland
and I think Dublin is a really great city.
But I also choose it because of its really good international reputation
and I can choose courses here that I can't do in Germany
I came to DCU because its a great university
its' reputation proceeds it.
My accounting teacher informed me that
the BA in Accounting and Finance course in DCU
would be the best course I could choose.
With over 1,000 international students at DCU
and the highest level of academic excellance
we have the expertise to support your studies
and give you the experience of a lifetime
Dublin City University is an amazing cultural environment
where you work, and you meet with a lot of people
so you not only gain professional knowledge
but you also have better understanding about culture about people
What really helped me settle into DCU was
orientation week or freshers week
because that's where all the people in my programme met for the first time
and we really mixed
The good thing about coming to DCU is that the International Office
was really really helpful
and they helped me out with all my Visas'
in student support and development we work with the students
outside of the classroom and we try and help them reach their potential
we have a sports service, we have a health centre
a counselling service and a careers office
so it's quite a range of support services and developmental services
which are there for the student
The facilities at DCU are second to none
including state of the art labs, excellent sports and leisure facilities
and safe welcoming on-campus accomadation with 24 hour security
I have to say that the labs are very well equipped
for students just starting up with science
and for the students continuing on with science
and you have access to a lot of journals you have access to plenty of books
and people in there are always really really nice and helpful
The Gym is brilliant, probably one of the best gyms in Dublin
it's got all the equipment you need
One of the facilities i use the most, is the Inter-Faith Centre
they provide the prayer rooms to practice my religion
There is also a Dance Studio, a theater, a Swimming Pool and a great restaurant
DCU is a wifi enabled campus so people can use the internet everywhere
Undergraduates can gain relevant paid work experience
as part of our INTRA internship programme
giving them a valuable insight into the world of enterprise and employment
I wanted to do an internship in my study programme
in DCU we call this INTRA and that gives you proper work experience
I was lucky enough to go to Switzerland for my INTRA work placement
which was an amazing experience that helps you
so much to decide what your future is going to be.
The quality of our academic staff is second to none
DCU receives the highest research income from industry
per academic member of staff of any Irish University
At DCU we want our students to grow professionally and personally
through a rich diet of experience and expertise
This is only my second semester in DCU but it feels like i've been here much longer
cause I have learned so much in such a short space of time
I have matured since I have started my course, which was three years ago
I have become more responsible to go into my lectures
to actually committing to what I want to do
On a personal level, I met lots of people
experienced new cultures
and made friends for life
With over 100 clubs and societys to choose from
there's always something to see and do outside of the lecture theatre
Life in DCU is really about societys
and it's actually pretty well balanced between
student life and your course work
there's loads of societys and clubs
for whatever you're interested in
there's Table Tennis, racket ball society, gymnastics societys
there is even a Harry Potter society
I'm a member of three clubs in DCU
The anime and manga club, the yoga club and the intercultural society
we made a movie, and they served Spanish food, and it was brillaint
And with the thriving metropolis of Dublin, just a couple of miles away
our students enjoy the best a major European city can offer
and a campus that's purpose built for now, and the future.
I would definitely recommend DCU because we have top level academics
and they care about you, and they care about your learning
and they care about your whole experience in DCU
I would absolutley reccomend coming to DCU because
you're near Dublin City Centre, it's only 4 miles away
and the people here are great
Dublin is a really great city, there are a lot of cultural events you can go to
I'd have to say, if you want a University that's got great academic properties
the teachers make you the best you can be
it's got a great life outside the lecture hall
then absolutely I think DCU would be the place for you
DCU is a great environment for your study but also the city is very friendly
the city is full of cultures
and the city welcomes everybody
As a final word, I'd just like to say that Dublin City University
is a small institution with aproximatley 10,500 students
most of us know each other by name
and really if you have any question, any query
I can guarantee you that it will be answered, and we will help you
As Irelands only QS top 50 under 50 university
