Navigating the Dublin City University Website for Courses
CEA knows it's important to make sure the credit you earn abroad will transfer back to your school at home. Fortunately, it's easy to find what you need in Dublin, because Dublin City University (DCU) offers such a wide variety of courses. In order to choose your courses for your upcoming program at DCU you will need to follow the steps below:
Choosing Your Courses
Step One:
Click here to view DCU courses and access syllabi.Step Two:
Choose modules you are interested in taking (you may choose up to 30 ECTS credits [18 US credits] worth of modules in one semester). Please indicate additional modules and list in order of preference, as places may not be available in each of the modules. It is best to have 10 modules in mind initially. DCU credits are allocated according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). Under this system, 3 US credits typically equals 5 or 6 ECTS. Please note that for the fall semester (semester 1), you are only eligible for modules highlighted in green (continuous assessment).
Indicate your choices on the Study Abroad Program Application Form from your MyCEA Account. Please do not use the application form found on the website for DCU courses. Please note that courses listed on the application are an indication of your course preferences ONLY. Final registration will take place once you arrive in Dublin.
Fall classes have final exams in mid-January. As such, students studying in the fall semester must select all 100% CA (continuous assessment) which means no end of term exam as you will be assessed on an ongoing basis. Spring students may select any module as exams take place in May.
Please verify with your university the amount of credits you will receive for the courses you are taking so that you maintain a full-time status abroad.
Helpful Hints when choosing your modules:
Demand for some modules is extremely high. Please bear in mind that it is not always possible to guarantee admission to particular modules, although we will do our best to offer you places in the modules you prefer.
- As there is a wide range of modules open to visiting students at DCU, it is important to ensure that careful consideration is given when selecting modules. For instance, a student without a background in a particular subject should not, in general, choose a specialized third year course in the subject. There will also be occasional but inevitable incompatibilities because of timetable conflicts or some other logistical problems. Students should consult with their academic advisors at their home universities before specifying their module choices.
- CEA encourages you to print the course descriptions and review them with your academic advisor at your home campus. It is important to get a variety of courses approved in writing by your home university prior to your departure.
