Summer School

Each summer UCD Access & Lifelong Learning hosts a residential summer school which gives fifth-year school pupils (senior secondary students) from linked DEIS schools and organisations a chance to meet other students who aspire to go to university. During this programme, participants have an opportunity to experience college lectures, undertake project work in a chosen subject, and enjoy a variety of the social and sports activities available to UCD students. DEIS schools are schools that have been identified as being in areas of disadvantage. DEIS stands for Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools and is a Irish government programme.
