A very warm welcome to DCU’s Access Service, the home of Ireland’s largest and very first university based Access Programme, set up in 1989.
Here at DCU, we have a strong tradition of creating equality of access to third level education for students from groups currently under-represented in higher education.
DCU Access have set out to create a 'life cycle of engagement' between the university and our Access students which starts from primary school and continues through graduation.
For any questions or general queries please contact access@dcu.ie.
