APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Check with your home International Office or academic
department for information on the application process for
an Erasmus exchange.
2. Once you have been nominated by your home university, go
to www.ucd.ie/international/exchange-programmes and
follow the instructions to apply online at UCD. If successful
you will receive an acceptance letter from UCD International
by email.
CHOOSING MODULES
Instructions for choosing modules will be provided by UCD
International during the summer months. It is possible that not
all of your course choices will be available or considered suitable
by the UCD academic coordinator. It is important to note that,
while every effort will be made to ensure that chosen courses
are available, occasionally courses may have to be changed or
omitted. Because of this, some flexibility on the part of incoming
students is required. We will, however, do our best to ensure that
you are informed in advance whether or not it will be possible for
you to take certain courses. There will be an opportunity to make
any necessary changes to your choice on arrival at UCD.

Immigration Regulations
5.1 Before Arrival
The information below is valid at the time of printing.
5
Please ensure
you read the
STUDENT VISA
GUIDELINES
document before
applying for your
visa.
www.inis.gov.ie
Details of the Irish Embassy attached to your country can be found
by visiting the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade website and
clicking on Visa Information.
www.dfa.ie
See UCD International website also for further information:
www.ucd.ie/international/study-at-ucd-global/coming-toireland/visa-and-immigration
You will also need to register in person with the Garda National
Immigration Bureau (GNIB) once you arrive in Ireland (see section
5.2). Students who are nationals of visa-required countries should
also note that Ireland is not a member of the Schengen Agreement.
Therefore students who have obtained a visa for a Schengen
country will need to apply for a separate visa for Ireland.
Nationals of all countries listed on Appendix 4 do not require a visa
prior to seeking entry to Ireland. For example, if you are a citizen
of Australia, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, or USA, you do not
need to apply for a student visa before arrival in Ireland. You will,
however, be required to complete immigration formalities with the
GNIB once you have completed registration in UCD (see section
5.2).
All students are advised to carry proof of acceptance to UCD in
their hand luggage. Immigration authorities may ask to see it upon
arrival in Ireland.
Your first point for visa information should be the embassy with
jurisdiction of your country or www.inis.gov.ie. However, should
you encounter any problems with your visa application, please let
the UCD International Student Adviser, Carl Lusby, know as quickly
as possible and she will advise you.

STUDYING IN UCD
Registering at UCD
6.1 Registration
Before attending courses you will need to register as a student,
enrol in your courses, pay your tuition fees, and receive a student
card (UCARD). Your UCARD gives you access to all student facilities,
including the residences, library, computer facilities, sports clubs,
and the student centre. It can be used to pay for certain services on
campus such as purchasing food in the main restaurant, printing,
scanning and photocopying, renting lockers, and more.
You can collect your UCARD on campus during Orientation Week.
Students will be notified in August of exact dates and locations of
UCARD collection. All new students will be requested to upload a
digital photograph. You can do this as soon as your SISweb access
is activated. This photo will be used as photographic identification
of you on your UCARD and on our student database. It is important
that you upload your photo as early as possible. For further
information and guidelines on photo upload please visit:

THRESHOLD
7.5 ELECTRICITY
Irish electrical current is 220 volts (50 cycles) AC. The plugs
most commonly used are 3-pin flat. As the Irish voltage
is different to US/Canadian voltage, if you are bringing
electrical appliances, you will need to bring/buy a voltage
convertor. Voltage convertors are available from most
electrical stores.

make use of the page. It is a
simple yet effective resource:

groups/393615964025337
7.6 FLAT-SHARING
The essence of a successful flat-share is having respect for one another.
Each persons point of view is valid and it is important to try to understand
a different point of view. Compromise is what it is all about. Remember you
are here to study and get on successfully in your exams - this is facilitated by
a happy home environment, so making the flat-share work is in everyones
interest.
PRACTICAL TIPS
All flat mates should get together at the beginning of their tenancy to work
out the following:
Will there be a communal fund for items such as milk/tea/bread/cleaning
equipment or will each person buy their own? If there is no communal fund
it means that you ask whoever owns the milk whether you can take some.
Dont drain the last drop!
Electricity for residence accommodation is paid for through a standard
utilities charge costing 396.
No smoking allowed in the student residence on-campus accommodation.
Remember to tell guests about this no-smoking policy.
Overnight guests must be signed in as per overnight guests policy.
Who cleans up the common areas (presumably you will clean up your
own room!)? Do you get together as necessary or take responsibility for a
week at a time? What about dirty dishes, when are they going to be done immediately, or when they are all piled up and there are no clean ones left?
Are you going to cook evening meals together? Perhaps you will set up a rota.
Talk about how you will organise guests. How late can they stay, particularly
during the middle of the week?
Television - are you going to rent one between you?
Have you different dietary needs/restrictions? Remember to respect other
peoples requirements and come to some agreement concerning them.
Some problems may occur, such as: music too loud; arguments about TV
programmes; too many friends calling or staying too late; or people not doing
their share of the cleaning/shopping. If a problem arises, talk about it with
your flatmates straight away, do not wait as it may escalate.
If you encounter problems with your flat mates and you have tried to talk
to them but have been unsuccessful dont hesitate to mention it to your
residence reception. Student Advisers are also here to help you (see Section
3.2 for contact details).

STUDYING IN UCD
Studying in UCD
The university has two 12-week semesters, divided by Christmas. There
is a two-week break in the second semester, to allow for fieldwork
in some subject areas. Students are advised to arrive at least a week
before the beginning of the semester, to allow time to settle in and
prepare for courses.

8.2 LECTURES
As in most universities, teaching is done through a combination of
lectures, seminars, tutorials, practicals, and laboratory classes. The
precise mix of teaching methods varies from subject to subject,
depending on the subject being covered and the size of the
class. Lectures and tutorials are usually of 50 minutes duration,
although seminars can be longer. In general, our study pattern
involves less lectures than many universities provide, but much
more tutorial and independent study. You should therefore be
prepared to do extensive reading and develop a well-disciplined
approach to library and laboratory work.

to 100 cent. Coins come in 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, 1, and 2
denominations. Notes are 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and

wish to see what Euro notes/coins look like go to:
www.gov.ie/ecbi-euro/notes.htm
To convert the currency of your country into Euro, visit:
www.xe.com
17.5 Food
If you are cooking for yourself, you will find all of the basic foods
in the main supermarkets (Tesco, Dunnes Stores, Superquinn,
or SuperValu). These supermarkets have numerous outlets
throughout Dublin and there should be one relatively near to
where you are living. Tesco, Superquinn, and SuperValu offer
grocery delivery services. Food may be quite different from
what you are used to at home, however the bigger supermarket
outlets usually stock a wide range of foods including beans,
rice, spices etc. and there should be something to suit your
taste. Lidl and Aldi are discount supermarkets which sell food
for approximately 1/3 lower than the main supermarkets. The
selection is limited and lines at the checkout can be long,
but they are great alternatives to the main supermarkets.
The closest Lidl store to the Belfield Campus is located in
Stillorgan (take Bus 46A in the direction of Dun Laoghaire) or
in Dundrum. The nearest Aldi is located in Rathmines.
There are also some good specialist food shops located in
Dublin. The Oriental Emporium has three locations within
Dublin: 25 South Great Georges Street; 1 Upper Rathmines
Road; and 30-32 Upper Abbey Street. A wide range of
condiments, rice, noodles, snacks and so forth can be bought
in these stores. The Asia Market located on 18 Drury Street,
offers a wide range of Asian food products. The Runner
Bean on Nassau Street sells organic coffee and a range
of sandwiches, salads, fruit, and vegetables. Halal meat
is available from the shop of the Islamic Foundation of
Ireland (which is located within the premises of the Mosque
in Clonskeagh). A great range of food stuffs particularly
aimed at vegetarians can be found in the Down to Earth
Health Food Store, 73 South Great Georges Street. Food
markets run at Meeting House Square, Temple Bar (every
Saturday) and The Peoples Park, Dun Laoghaire (every
Sunday) throughout the year.

17.6 Garda
The police in Ireland are called Garda Sochna or for short Garda
(pronounced gar-da), plural Garda (pronounced gardee). They
patrol the streets on foot, on bicycles, and in cars, and are unarmed.
They are very helpful and can be asked for assistance if you are lost
and in need of directions, or have encountered any trouble. There
is a Garda Office located on UCD Campus (see Section 11.15).
The nearest Garda station to Belfield is located in Donnybrook
opposite the Bank of Ireland. For further information go to:
www.garda.ie
NIGHTCLUBS
CINEMAS
THEATRES
Dublin has a strong theatre heritage and there are many famous
Irish playwrights. The Abbey Theatre and the Gate Theatre
provide a good variety of plays (an enjoyable way to improve
your English).
www.abbeytheatre.ie www.gatetheatre.ie
74
RESTAURANTS
Many museums and art galleries can be visited free of charge. The most
popular choices that are not to be missed while in Dublin are the National
Museum of Ireland Archaeology, National Museum of Ireland - Decorative
Arts & History, and the National Museum of Ireland Natural History
(www.museum.ie).
The National Gallery of Ireland (www.nationalgallery.ie), Dublin City
Gallery, The Hugh Lane (www.hughlane.ie), Irish Museum of Modern Art
(www.imma.ie), Chester Beatty Library (www.cbl.ie), and Dublin Castle
(www. dublincastle.ie) are also worth visiting.
Traditional Irish music can be heard in many pubs and bars in the city.
Johnnie Foxs is situated in the Dublin Mountains and receives lots of visitors.
ODonoghues on Merrion Row is less often visited by tourists and so is a little
more authentic. Several pubs also specialise in jazz and fusion music, while
classical music is available at the National Concert Hall . The below websites
are useful for finding out about concerts and events in Dublin and Ireland.
