Overview
DCU was founded in 1980 and is part of the National University of Ireland system. Its main objective is to provide a lively social and educational environment, and it encourages a holistic approach to student development. It hosts approximately 10,000 students and boasts a number of research centers which collaborate with domestic and international universities. The Helix, Ireland’s largest art center, is based on campus.
Located in north Dublin, DCU occupies an expansive 85-acre campus with state-of-the-art facilities. Because it is served by several bus routes between north Dublin and south Dublin, the campus is very accessible.
IES students have the opportunity to be a part of this campus in north Dublin, living in campus housing and taking advantage of a broad range of academic options.
Students can participate in this program for the academic year (both fall and spring semesters) or just the spring semester. Fall semester only is not an option.
