International Undergraduate Prospectus 2019 INTERNATIONAL UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2019 WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT Whether you are planning your life after high school or embarking on a new direction by choosing to study overseas, you will spend considerable time researching your options. Choosing the right undergraduate degree, the right university and the right time to dedicate at least three years to study are big decisions and I hope that this prospectus, and the range of engagements we offer through UCD International, will encourage you to come to this great university. Our ethos is all about giving our students the best educational and life-preparing experience. We strive to give you a holistic education, instilling in you a desire to learn and create, to question and reason, to contribute to society at all levels, nationally and globally. At UCD the educational environment is designed to stimulate students through flexible teaching and learning practices. Our faculty bring their research and their scholarship into the classroom so that our undergraduates can engage with the most up-to-date knowledge. Recognising the pace of change in the world in which we live, we are constantly updating our curriculum content and structures so that you get the best education possible. This year, the QS World University Subject Rankings ranked UCD in the top 100 globally in 12 subjects. This achievement is a reflection on the quality of the staff and faculty and means that you will take with you a recognised badge of quality when you graduate and set off on your own career journey. UCD is Ireland’s global university. We are the university of first choice among Irish students as well as the university-of-destination for the largest number of international students coming to Ireland. We are proud to welcome almost 8,000 students to campus, all contributing to a very cosmopolitan environment. UCD is a beautiful 330 acre campus, with space for our students to think, explore and create, while also being a 15 minute bus journey from the vibrancy of Dublin city centre. We have Global Centres in New York, Beijing, Delhi, Kuala Lumpur, and Dubai. Those centres provide an accessible first point of contact for high schools, partner institutions, students and parents in your local time zone. Many of our degrees include an option to take modules in a partner university outside Ireland, so students benefit from their Irish and their international experience. As you consider your future, I hope that this prospectus will give you a flavour of the breadth of opportunity that awaits you here. I invite you to find out as much as you can about the subjects that interest you. You can start with this prospectus, but you will learn more from the website, from visiting the campus and from talking to family and friends who came here ahead of you. Your university experience is a journey of academic and personal discovery. I invite you to learn as much as you can about the UCD experience; the societies and sports, the events, the facilities and our great campus. I look forward to welcoming you to UCD and into our vibrant and embracing community.

His desire to engage students in his subject – plant science - prompted him to create an experimental garden for Bloom last year, which has now been given a permanent home as an outdoor classroom in the Science Quad. The Evolution of Land Plants Garden illustrates how plant evolution coincided with climate change over the eras and ultimately enabled the development and survival of humans. EILIS O’BRIEN Director of Communication As Paul describes the garden himself: “Travelling through plant evolution, and Marketing from their humble origins and dependence on water, to plants colonising water margins, to finally plants gaining independence in where they can grow, the garden tells the story of plant development: from cuticles, to vascular systems, to seeds and finally to flowers. This journey through time is accompanied by a set of panels making references to animals - spiders, dragon flies, dinosaurs and humans - whose existence depends on, and would not be possible without, plants to sustain their life.” Designed by Dr Caroline Elliott-Kingston, UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science, and architect and horticulturalist, Nicola Haines, the Evolution Garden won the Gold Medal for Best in Concept category at Bloom.
