    University Sector

    There are seven universities in the Republic of Ireland and two in Northern Ireland. Please click on the links below to find details on individual universities. Universities offer degrees at Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate levels and undergraduate and postgraduate diplomas over a full range of disciplines. In addition research is undertaken in many areas and the universities are also involved in continuing and distance education programmes. Teaching at undergraduate level is normally by way of a programme of lectures supplemented by tutorials and, where appropriate, practical demonstrations and laboratory work. Masters degrees are usually taken by coursework, research work or a combination of both. Doctoral degrees are awarded on the basis of research. Universities award their own degrees using external examiners to ensure consistency of standards. There is also a Higher Education Authority (HEA) which oversees the work of the universities on behalf of the Department of Education and Science. The University of Dublin (Trinity College) founded in 1592 is the oldest university in Ireland. The National University of Ireland, founded in 1908 is based on a federal model and has four constituent universities which are the teaching and research organs of the National University. Individually they enjoy a large degree of autonomy. The constituent universities are: University College Dublin(UCD); University College Cork(UCC); National University of Ireland, Galway National University of Ireland, Maynooth(NUI-Maynooth); The University of Limerick (UL)and Dublin City University (DCU) are Ireland's newest universities, established in 1989.
