Welcome to Dublin, a city that's as intimate as a village and as friendly as an Irish pub. Framed by mountains, centered on a river and edged by a beautiful bay, the city's streets and alleys are filled with vibrant art and historic buildings, hip cafés and traditional "old man" pubs, as Dubliners call them. Walk the streets and you'll feel the energy of over 1,000 years of history, as echoes of the Vikings mix with buzzing boutiques, cobbled streets reverberate with the sounds of buskers, and 18th century parks play host to festivals, film and food markets.
Dublin is a resoundingly social place, packed with culture, creativity and craic (fun). You'll see it in the busy pubs, in the rolling nightlife scene, in the music and in the chat. But this ancient gem basks in natural beauty, too. Head out beyond the city, and the UNESCO Biosphere of Dublin Bay opens up with coastal walks, little villages, wide sea views and rugged mountain backdrops. Take to the Dublin mountains for a hike, go rock-climbing in Dalkey Quarry, walk the cliff path at Howth or join the Dublin hardcore who sea-swim whatever the weather. There's an adventure around every corner.

Studying
This is a business exchange and is therefore only open to students prepared to take a full semester of coursework in business classes. This exchange is only open to currently enrolled CSI students.
TUD Degrees are based on a 3 or 4 year programs of study. Students take a planned set of core and optional modules on a year by year basis. Unlike other countries, Irish Students have a defined path of study set out from the start. Each Program is managed as a coherent offering by the School/Department within the College.
Full-time students are required to study 60 European credits (ECTS) per year - 30 per semester. This is roughly equivalent to 15 US college credits.
You can use the Undergraduate course search on TUD's website to find course options. Here are some useful terms in determining which courses you are eligible for:
PROGRAMME = Degree - it could be 2, 3 or 4 years long
MODULE = course - usually a module which is worth 5 ECTS (3 US credits) has 2-3 contact hours per week
As an Exchange student you can choose from across different programs and levels. Since you are allowed to choose from across different programs, you will notice that in the Module Catalogues the same module is offered various times - this is to give you a wider range of choice in terms of schedule. There are more than 300 modules in the TUD Module Catalogue on offer to you as a Visiting student.
This can be a confusing process as the courses are listed very differently than US students are used to. If you have questions, contact the Center for Global Engagement (StudyAB@csi.cuny.edu).
Living
There are several options for finding housing around TUD. Please visit http://www.dit.ie/campuslife/ studentsupport/accommodation to learn more about the different housing options. Students pay for housing upon arrival in Ireland.
