The International Foundation Year at Dublin International Study Centre is a three-term undergraduate foundation programme. It’s designed for ambitious international students, who have good academic qualifications from their home country.
You will be based on UCD's main campus and prepare to make a confident start to your degree in Ireland.
We offer three subject routes for progression to UCD. Across each route, you will study a mix of modules designed to improve your English language and academic skills so you're ready to progress to university. You will also benefit from our dedicated support staff in-centre, who will work with you to ensure you're on the path to success.
Once you successfully complete your International Foundation Year and achieve the required grades, you will be able to progress to your chosen undergraduate degree.
Engineering & Sciences
This engineering and sciences foundation year programme is perfect for students wanting to study an innovative undergraduate degree at an Irish university. You will have good subject knowledge, and want to develop it further, while also improving your English language skills.
Why study the International Foundation Year in Engineering and Sciences?
Progression to Food and Agribusiness Management
During the Food & Agribusiness Management degree, you will learn how the principles of business and economics apply to farming, food production and marketing. You will study core science subjects in first year, then specialise in agribusiness in subsequent years. You gain an understanding of how the Irish and international food systems deliver food products and services that people want, and how farmers and food manufacturers can produce profitably and sustainably.
The four-year course provides a unique opportunity to understand both business and science, focusing on the agri-food sector – Ireland’s largest indigenous industry. You will learn skills that can be used across a wide range of roles both within and outside the agri-food sector.
