University College Dublin
Established in 1854, with 160 years of teaching and research excellence, UCD is ranked in the top 1% of higher education
institutions worldwide.
The UCD Open Day takes place on the Belfield Campus located 4km south of Dublin city centre.
The modern parkland campus contains over 8km of woodland walkways, 5 student villages and world-class teaching and
student facilities including a state-of-the-art Student Centre.
Welcome to UCD. As you consider your future, we hope that this open day will give you an insight into the range of opportunities that await you here.
Meet with university faculty, staff and students in the Central Exhibition area in O’Reilly Hall. We have over 100 programme and subject-specific talks taking place in 6 locations on campus: UCD Newman, the Lochlann Quinn School of Business, the O’Brien Centre for Science, the Health Sciences Centre, the Global Lounge, and Sutherland School of Law.
We invite you to find out as much as you can about the subjects that may interest you and learn as much as you can about the world of UCD: the societies and sports, the facilities and campus. Don’t hesitate to ask us any questions and we hope you enjoy your day!

Plan Your Day
π Decide on your subject talks first and then work the general talks around these.
π Check the programme to see when talks occur for your subject of interest.
π Campus tours run all day - work these around your subject talks.
π Visit the information stands in the Central Exhibition at some point
π Most talks last for half an hour, and finish ten minutes before the scheduled time to allow you to get to the next talk.
