CEA CAPA 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:
View DCU courses by 'Study Stream' by clicking on the links below. Syllabi can be accessed here.
Step Two:
Choose modules from the listed study streams you are interested in taking - you may choose 12-18 US credits (up to 30 ECTS 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 7 modules in mind initially (6 core modules and 1 elective). DCU credits are allocated according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). Under this system, 3 US credits typically equals 5 or 6 ECTS.
Indicate your choices on the Study Abroad Program Application Form from your Student Portal. 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 through completing the pre-registration form before your arrival in Dublin.
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.
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.
