This is a very large university located a few tram stops away from downtown Dublin. It has an excellent reputation worldwide. Every semester, students from DCU come to our campus in Switzerland on an exchange, since the partnership is a well-established one. The current Ambassador to Switzerland is an Alumni. If you're looking for a big university campus experience, this is the university for you. The only downside: make sure you start look for accommodation early on, since Dublin has very limited accommodation options.
