Semester Exchange

TU Dublin – Ireland

Institution: Technological University Dublin —

Location: Dublin, Ireland —

 

The creation of TU Dublin is one of the most exciting and important landmarks in Irish higher education in decades. Although new to Ireland, Technological Universities are an established feature of many international education systems. A common attribute is that students study in a practice-based environment, informed by the latest research and enabled by technological advances, applying theoretical knowledge to real-life challenges.

With 28,500 students TU Dublin is the place where the arts, business, science, engineering and technology converge. The new University, which will be one of the largest third-level educators in the country, will create an inclusive open learning experience offering pathways to graduation, from Apprenticeship to PhD, to a diverse range of students.

TU Dublin will be developed on campuses spanning the three largest centres of population in the Greater Dublin Region – Dublin City, Blanchardstown and Tallaght. The new state of the art Grangegorman campus on a 73 acres site in the heart of Dublin City is being developed as a location that encourages and supports knowledge advancement, sustainable development and inclusive education.

Accommodation:

At present, TU Dublin does not have on-campus accommodation for students. It is not advisable to agree to rent accommodation until you arrive in Dublin and actually see what you are being offered. Therefore you may wish to book temporary accommodation in advance of your arrival.

The International Student Office has identified the following hostels which are suitable to stay in for a few days when you arrive. These hostels are located in the centre of the city, are close to the TU Dublin (City Campus) Colleges and are close to all the amenities the city has to offer. They all provide either dormitory or private room accommodation, have facilities for secure storage of valuables and provide meals or you can cook for yourself.

We recommend you use these hostels for a few days to orient yourself in Dublin and while you identify and visit longer term accommodation. These hostels are NOT suitable for long term stay. You can book these hostels in advance of arrival in Dublin or drop in to the International Welcome Desk and staff there will be happy to help you identify the most suitable hostel for you.
