UCD LOCHLANN QUINN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

I chose Economics and Finance because this course was the perfect blend of economics and math which are my favourite subjects-while adding in more relevant advanced modules to prepare me for my career.

UCD has been so welcoming to me as an international student, and one of the reasons was their interpersonal

relations with each student, how helpful everyone is and just the sense of community that is fostered on campus.

I would certainly recommend this course to anyone who is ready to put in a lot of hard work but have a great university life all in one.

SAMPLE TIMETABLE On average students in our full-time programmes have 18-22 hours of contact time per week, including lectures, tutorials and small group teaching. Outside of this, you will be expected to schedule time for study and class preparation as well as time to work on projects and assignments, either individually or in a group.

Below is a sample timetable to illustrate how students in our full-time programmes could spend their time, but each student has their own individual schedule depending on their programme structure, subject choices, elective choices and how much they want to get involved with student life in UCD.
