Description

The International Foundation Year at Dublin International Study Centre is a three-term undergraduate foundation programme. It’s designed for ambitious international students, who have good academic qualifications from their home country. You will be based on UCD's main campus and prepare to make a confident start to your degree in Ireland. We offer three subject routes for progression to UCD. Across each route, you will study a mix of modules designed to improve your English language and academic skills so you're ready to progress to university. You will also benefit from our dedicated support staff in-centre, who will work with you to ensure you're on the path to success. Once you have successfully completed the programme and achieved the required grades, you will join the first year of your chosen undergraduate degree.
