Experience the magic of a Pub Night in Ireland! Visit a traditional Irish pub and listen to Irish Music. Dublin offers many traditional pubs, make sure to attend one of our ‘Pub Nights’ during your course at DCU! Note: Minimum age for attendance is 18 years.

Ireland has a rich tradition of history and we regularly offer Museum and gallery visits for students to learn about our heritage. Destinations include Kilmainham Jail, National History Museum, National Gallery and many more. Note: Fees apply for some trips.

Students are invited to join on a series of once-off classes to learn the basics of other languages. These classes are run by DCU Staff members and fellow international students alike. Languages offered include: Irish, Polish, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and French.

Take a walking tour of Dublin City Centre, led by a DCU guide. This tour is a great way for students to learn about Dublin City, and will serve as your compass for life in Dublin. You’ll find out where museums, shopping streets, restaurants and other great attractions are located!

We regularly offer parties for our students on campus at DCU during the year, including Halloween Party, Christmas Party and Summer Party. These are always great fun, and often 'Fancy Dress' is encouraged! Come along and have fun.

Croke Park is one of Europe's largest stadium with a capacity of 82.300! This is a great chance to discover the rich history of Gaelic games.

Each week we will show a new film at DCU. Films will be of different genres, from animation to Irish historical to modern day comedy films. Attend a Film Afternoon, make new friends and develop your listening skills – a great way to learn about understanding accents!

We regularly arrange Irish Dancing events. Learn about the tradition of Irish Dancing, the music, the costume and the people. Participants will also be invited to take part and to try Irish Dancing for themselves! This is a very popular event.
