Welcome to DCU's Access Service, home to Ireland's first and one of the largest university-based Access programmes. DCU upholds a strong tradition of promoting equal access to higher education for students from underrepresented groups. DCU Access has created a 'life cycle of engagement' between the university and its Access students, starting in primary school and continuing until graduation.  As of 2025 we are delighted to now support Mature and FE cohorts.
