Dublin City University

Dublin City University was awarded university status in 1989 and at the time the Dublin college was considered at the time to be an 'unconventional' university. It broke with the traditional mould and introduced a number of ideas, which had enormous impact on the Irish education system. Its degree programmes were also the first to be interdisciplinary, with, for example science students taking business courses, business students taking languages and language students taking computing. Many DCU students study at universities in Spain, France, Germany and Austria as part of their international courses degree programmes under Erasmus exchange agreements.
