DCU Sports Academy

DCU recognises that University sport forms an integral part of the social and educational lives of the campus community and is committed to providing high quality sport and recreation opportunities.

Within the walls of DCU sport lays the DCU Sports Academy with its focus on the elite athelete. Academy resources are currently directed towards Gaelic Football & Athletics in order to allow those athletes the very best opportunities for sporting and academic excellence. Our programmes focus on developing the athelete so that they are in a position to achieve sporting success and development during and after their time in DCU.

In addition to sporting achievement DCU Sports Academy strives to attain the highest acdemic standards so that those atheletes will be equipped after college to ensure, not only their own continued success and development, but also to give something back to their sport. Finally to complement its investment in people DCU has also invested in putting into place the necessary infrastructure creating an elite environment which displays some of the finest sports facilities, sports programmes and academic courses in the country.
