Study in Ireland at UCD
University College Dublin is not only one of the top universities in Ireland – it is also the best university for international students in Ireland. One of the reasons for this is the Liberal Arts & Sciences Pathway. This gives international students who want to study abroad in Ireland – but don’t know exactly what they want to study – a pathway to an undergraduate degree.
This four year programme offers you the flexibility to experience a range of different subject areas before you make your final decision on a degree. You can decide on your degree in year one or two.
Liberal Arts & Sciences is ideal for international students with diverse interests. If you are trying to decide between a degree in Science, Engineering, Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, Business, Agricultural or Food Science, Human Nutrition, Architecture or City Planning and Environmental Policy – this course is for you!

I ended up pursuing History and Folklore, two subjects that had not even been on my radar! Now I can’t see myself studying anything else.
