A Multi-Campus Dublin Experience
DCU’s academic environment spans several north-Dublin locations. Your daily campus experience depends on your programme, so accommodation and commuting should be planned around the correct location.
Programme Requirements Come First
DCU assesses applications against the published criteria for each programme. Non-EU postgraduate applications are considered case by case using the submitted qualifications and supporting evidence.
Undergraduate
Check the course page for recognised qualifications, subject prerequisites, English-language requirements and any portfolio, test or interview conditions.
Postgraduate
A relevant recognised bachelor’s qualification is normally required. Additional academic, professional or English-language criteria vary by programme.
Fees & Intakes
DCU publishes a 2026/27 fee schedule, but fees and availability must still be confirmed for the exact programme and intake.
