Since its inception, UCD has established a long and distinguished tradition of service to scholarship and to the community; succeeding generations of graduates have played a central role in the shaping of modern Ireland and in the conduct of international affairs.

Location
The campus is situated at Belfield, three miles south of Dublin ’s city center, on a beautifully landscaped 350 acre site. Dublin , the capital city of the Republic of Ireland , is a cosmopolitan city, bustling with energy and excitement. You can practically hear the roar as this old city on the western shore of the Irish Sea transforms itself into Western Europe 's fastest-growing urban tourist destination -- a center of new construction and restoration. Even though it has shown recent signs of slowing down, "the Celtic Tiger" -- the nickname given to the roaring Irish economy -- has turned Dublin into a boomtown. Elegant shops and hotels, galleries, art-house cinemas, coffeehouses, and a stunning variety of restaurants have sprung up on almost every street in the capital. Roughly half of the Irish Republic 's population of 3.6 million people lives in Dublin and its suburbs.
The city is a great center for culture with fine museums, art galleries and theatres. Dublin is also home to a great literary tradition, its native sons include Shaw, Yeats, Wilde, Joyce and Beckett (James Joyce is a UCD graduate). You can't talk about Dublin without mentioning the architecture; walking around the city you'll see everything from mediaeval and Georgian architecture to more modern buildings.
