Programme Structure
Thar tréimhse dhá bhliain, tugann mic léinn pháirtaimseartha faoi mhodúil i réimse topaicí a bhaineann leis an ngnó digiteach, bainistíocht agus ceannaireacht, agus cúrsaí straitéise agus margaíochta, chomh maith le tionscadal nó tráchtas sa taighde feidhmeach. Dearadh gach ceann de na modúil ar mhaithe le freastal ar threochtaí atá ag teacht chun cinn i saol na hoibre sa lá atá inniu ann.
Sna gnéithe den chúrsa a bhaineann leis an ngnó digiteach, líonraí agus na meáin, foghlaimeoidh mic léinn eolas agus scileanna teicniúla a chuirfidh ar a gcumas ábhar a chruthú agus cumarsáid a dhéanamh ar ardáin dhigiteacha, idir na cinn atá coitianta agus cinn atá ag teacht chun cinn. Forbróidh mic léinn tuiscint phraiticiúil ar an dea-chleachtas i ndearadh gréasáin, inúsáidteacht suíomhanna gréasáin, eispéireas an úsáideora agus feachtais agus tionscadail ríomhthráchtála.
Trí na modúil taighde agus bhainistíochta, díreofar ar na tuiscintí a theastaíonn i ngairmeacha bainistíochta agus ceannaireachta. Forbróidh mic léinn scileanna boga agus tras-scileanna, chomh maith le tuiscintí ar an tionchar a imríonn bunachair sonraí, an t-uathoibriú agus an mheaisínfhoghlaim ar chleachtais thraidisiúnta bhainistíochta.
Ar deireadh, beidh deis ag mic léinn tarraingt ar an taithí ghairmiúil, acadúil nó phearsanta atá acu féin, agus tabhairt faoi thionscadal taighde agus tráchtas a bhaineann lena sainréimsí spéise féin. Déanfar an obair seo faoi stiúir ball den fhoireann acadúil a bhfuil ardchailíochtaí agus taithí aige/aici.
Tabharfaidh na tascanna eile a dhéanfar i rith na bliana deis do mhic léinn a gcuid taighde, machnaimh agus saineolais a chur i bhfeidhm agus iad ag obair ar thionscadail shuimiúla a bhaineann lena gcúlraí agus réimsí spéise féin. Físeán faoin Ghaeilge

Life On Campus
At DCU, our students can expect a unique campus experience. We are known for our excellent teaching and learning facilities, our active clubs and societies, and our great social and sporting facilities. All this makes DCU an exciting place to be.
DCU has three academic campuses; Glasnevin, St. Patrick’s and All Hallows (both in Drumcondra), all close to Dublin City centre.
They can be reached by public transport, Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann, with our Drumcondra campuses a ten minute walk from Drumcondra Train Station. Glasnevin is a 20 minute walk from St Patrick’s and All Hallows. They are also linked by Dublin Bus.
Each campus has a library (O’Reilly, Cregan and Woodlock Hall), study spaces, restaurants, and on-campus residencies. There are sports facilities on Glasnevin and St. Patrick’s, and there is a dedicated sports campus, St Claire’s, located near Glasnevin on the Ballymun Road.
DCU’s 19,000 students have access to exceptional teaching and learning facilities across our three academic campuses.
These include modern learning theatres, research centres, a new media and TV studio, radio/podcast studios, computer suites and advanced labs in the areas of Languages, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry and Biotechnology, as well as a Sports Performance centre and a training hospital ward. In 2021, we opened our first virtual reality ‘Leadership Lab’, which is located in our Business School.
We continue to improve and update our facilities. For example, construction of a new world-class STEM facility is underway on the Glasnevin campus. With capacity for an extra 3,000 STEM students, this facility will advance DCU’s international reputation for excellence in science and health, computing and engineering disciplines.
Studying in DCU isn’t just about course work. The university is rich in student life and activities.

For many students, sport is an important part of the DCU experience. DCU’s Sports Complex boasts a 25 metre swimming pool, fitness centre gym, all-weather pitches and squash courts, as well as soccer, GAA and rugby pitches. DCU Dóchas Éireann, the university’s GAA club, is the largest third level Gaelic Games club in the country.

On our St Patrick’s campus, we have the Java Student Hub, a vibrant, warm and welcoming space where students can meet for coffee, play music, use the projector to watch events, or just relax. The walls of the Java Hub were designed based on the cultural history of St Patrick’s Campus, including the special references to the notable sporting history and history of the arts.
