English Language Modules

We offer English for General and Academic Purposes modules for Erasmus, non-EU/Exchange and international non-native English speaking students. These modules can be taken in Autumn or Spring Trimesters and must be taken for 5 credits per module.

For Erasmus and non-EU Exchange, they should be taken as part of your learning agreement with your home university. It is not possible to audit these modules. Modules from the list below will run in each trimester depending on student uptake.

To find out more about the modules we offer, click on the module descriptors at the end of the page.

We would like to offer you an English module to support your level of English while studying at UCD. Please attend a quick language consultation at one of the sessions below.
