At DCU, we’re here to transform. We invest in people and get them to where they want to be, helping our students to become something beyond expectation and make their mark.
We believe that our student population should be truly reflective of our diverse society, and our doors are open to all. We are proud to lead the way in widening participation in higher education in Ireland, and in enabling our students to excel. From establishing Ireland’s first university access programme in 1990, to becoming Ireland’s first Autism Friendly University, we have always understood that some students need extra supports to pursue their university dream and to thrive in their studies.
We also believe in recognising and supporting excellence, through scholarships that celebrate academic achievement, and by creating opportunities for talented students to pursue doctoral research that makes an impact.
