The admission process at University College Dublin (UCD) varies by program but follows a structured approach. For undergraduate courses, applicants apply via the Central Applications Office (CAO) if they are Irish/EU students, while non-EU students apply directly to UCD. Required documents typically include academic transcripts, a personal statement, and references.
Postgraduate applicants submit directly through UCD’s online system, providing relevant qualifications, a CV, and recommendation letters. Some programs may require interviews or additional tests. Deadlines differ for EU and non-EU candidates, so checking UCD’s website for specific dates is essential. Offers are based on academic merit and program requirements.
