Ireland's Global University
As Ireland’s Global University we value global research, teaching, exchange, and collaborative programmes. University College Dublin has an extensive global network of partner institutions, comprising over 480 institutions across more than 55 countries.
UCD Global seeks to foster and develop links by supporting a variety of University-wide and College-level collaborations. If you would like more information on commencing a partnership with UCD and the UCD approvals process for global partnerships please see here.
To propose a new partnership, please complete the UCD Partnership Request Form. The Global Partnerships team will then liaise within the University to match your requests with University personnel and advise the sender of the outcome of the request. Although all requests are considered carefully, the University is unable to service all requests.
Global Networks
Our international networks and collaborations offer fantastic opportunities for student and staff mobility and scholarships. Belonging to international networks of world-leading and research intensive universities also allows UCD to promote collaboration, share good practice and combine resources to enhance student learning.
