University College Dublin (UCD) typically has two main intakes annually: September and January. The September intake is the primary admission period for most programs, while the January intake is limited to select courses. Application deadlines vary by program and applicant origin.
For EU applicants, undergraduate deadlines usually fall in early February via the Central Applications Office (CAO). Non-EU undergraduate and postgraduate applicants should apply by mid-July for September intake or early November for January intake. Specific deadlines may differ for competitive programs, so checking UCD’s official website or contacting admissions is advisable for precise dates.
