Welcome to DCU Alumni
Our graduates help DCU to deliver its mission to transform lives and societies.
The DCU community stretches far and wide beyond our campuses, with 110,000 graduates worldwide, located all over the world.
You can help us enhance your alumni community by updating your details, attending reunions and joining our international chapters, benefitting from our award winning Mentorship and Emerging Leaders Programmes, and engaging with our extended list of engagement opportunities; there’s something there for everyone!
Your volunteering can help transform the student experience at DCU and the experience of your fellow graduates. This in turn, enhances your own personal and professional network of contacts, friends and fellow graduates.
Our alumni team wants to develop the graduate experience for everyone within our alumni community, to ensure you can maximise your alumni network from DCU.
How to Maximise Your Alumni Network

Our DCU community includes our graduates from NIHE, St Pat’s College in Drumcondra and the Mater Dei Institute of Education and we run events and initiatives on the Glasnevin and St Pat’s campuses regularly.

Latest Alumni Newsletter Updates
We’re excited to share that DCU has climbed in the 2025 Times Higher Education World University Rankings, now among the top 400 universities globally!
October was filled with celebrations as over 4,400 graduates crossed the stage at The Helix, joining our growing alumni family. We also marked special reunions, including the first-ever Mater Dei reunion at the St Pat’s campus, and a joyful gathering of the 1970 Dóchas Éireann hurling team.
Looking ahead, we have several international alumni events in November, with gatherings in London, Boston, and New York. In December, join us for the Alumni Christmas Dinner at the 1838 Restaurant to celebrate the festive season with fellow graduates.
Don’t forget: Thursday the 31st November is the final day to nominate a graduate for the 2024 Alumni Awards. If you know a graduate who embodies our mission to transform lives and societies, we’d love to hear from you!
As always, we welcome your news and feedback at alumni@dcu.ie.
