DCU has three academic campuses; Glasnevin, St. Patrick¡¯s and All Hallows (both in Drumcondra), all close to Dublin City centre.
They can be reached by public transport, Dublin Bus and Bus ?ireann, with our Drumcondra campuses a ten minute walk from Drumcondra Train Station. Glasnevin is a 20 minute walk from St Patrick¡¯s and All Hallows. They are also linked by Dublin Bus.
Each campus has a library (O¡¯Reilly, Cregan and Woodlock Hall), study spaces, restaurants, and on-campus residencies. There are sports facilities on Glasnevin and St. Patrick¡¯s, and there is a dedicated sports campus, St Claire¡¯s, located near Glasnevin on the Ballymun Road.
