Message from the Director of Student Services and Facilities

At UCD, we understand that our students’ needs are as dynamic and diverse as the community we serve. Each individual brings unique circumstances and aspirations, and it is our mission to provide the services and supports they need to thrive. From academic success to personal growth, our aim is to ensure that every student, regardless of their background, feels empowered to explore opportunities and achieve their full potential during their time at UCD.

UCD Campus Sport and Leisure Ltd (UCD CSL Ltd), a wholly-owned subsidiary of University College Dublin, plays a vital role in supporting this mission by managing and operating UCD’s sports and leisure facilities. These facilities serve as a foundation for students to thrive, whether as members of sports clubs, societies, or the gym. By overseeing the Student Centre, Sports Centre, and its associated amenities, UCD CSL ensures that every student enjoys a high-quality and enriching university experience.

More than just a service provider, UCD CSL Ltd creates vibrant, inclusive spaces that promote well-being, personal development, and a sense of belonging. By fostering exceptional sports and leisure experiences, we contribute to a holistic university experience where students feel supported, engaged, and connected.

As part of this commitment, we continually strive to:

  • Enhance student engagement and well-being through innovative programmes and facilities.
  • Adapt campus resources to meet evolving student needs with cutting-edge solutions.
  • Cultivate a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workforce that enhances service delivery and provides meaningful employment opportunities for students.

Together, we are dedicated to creating an environment where every student can flourish, both on campus and beyond.
