The Study Abroad Programme in the UCD Colleges of Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences and Law was established in 1986. Study Abroad students attend the same modules and sit the same examinations as Irish students to ensure full cultural integration and maximum educational benefit for all students. Students are welcome to apply for a semester or for the full academic year.

Module Information and Assessment At UCD we call classes/courses ‘modules’. Details of modules are available to browse and explore on UCD’s online course catalogue at www. ucd.ie/students/course_search.htm.

Study abroad students have access to a wide range of undergraduate modules available at UCD* (*subject to pre-requisites, capacity and timetabling). Study Abroad students will be sent a full list of modules available to them specifically for their semester at UCD. You must register the majority of your modules in your subject area and up to two modules from other Programme areas. You may also take all of your modules within your chosen subject area.*

Assessment is based on a combination of in-semester components such as projects, class based assignments and formal examinations which take place at the end of each semester ie in December and May.
