Located in the Republic’s capital, UCD is the largest of the colleges which forms the National University of Ireland. Besides its favorable location and vibrant campus life, the University has other excellent features. With a semester calendar, you’ll finish your studies in time to be home for the holidays during the fall semester and for the start of summer vacation during the spring semester.

At UCD, you’ll be able to pursue focused study in two departments within the University’s Faculty of Arts. Some of the subjects you can choose from include history, English literature, languages, politics, economics, geography, classical studies, music, philosophy, sociology and social policy, and mathematics and statistics. You’ll take six courses per semester earning 15 semester hours of credit. One restriction at UCD is that you will be expected to take all of your courses at the same level – either second or third-year.
