Since its foundation, the UCD has made a unique contribution to the creation of modern Ireland, based on successful engagement with Irish society on every level and across every sphere of activity. The international standing of UCD has grown in recent years; it is currently ranked within the top 1% of higher education institutions world-wide. UCD is also Ireland's most globally engaged university with over 30,000 students drawn from 136 countries, including almost 4,000 students based at locations outside of Ireland.
UCD students either stay On Campus or Off Campus. UCD has beautiful on-campus accommodation, consisting of a single bedroom with options of both private and shared bathrooms. Apartments are equipped with kitchens, and fully catered packages are available.
There is very little availability in student residences off campus however feel free to contact us at info@studenthouse.com if you need additional house finding support – we can advise accordingly or refer you to relocation support agents in Dublin.
Off Campus student accommodation is also a great option and thankfully Dublin has added thousands of excellent student accommodation rooms over the past number of years. Options include houses/apartments on the open market, student digs and purpose built student accommodation.
