DCU St Patrick's Campus

Welcome to St. Patrick's Campus!

Located in Drumcondra, just north of Dublin's city centre, St. Patrick's campus has a rich history and serves as a hub for education and teacher training. Originally founded in 1875 as St. Patrick's College, a teacher training institution, it developed a strong reputation for educating primary school teachers. In 2016, the college integrated with Dublin City University, becoming one of its campuses and expanding DCU's education programs.
