DCU would like to get students involved with the Alumni Association as early as possible so that students can reap the benefits during their time at the university.

Programmes supported by the Alumni Office include Career Connections , which is organised by the Careers Service. This provides an opportunity for graduates to meet with students to share advice and insights about life at DCU and career options.

The exciting Mentorship programme is an interactive learning and educational experience, provided by graduates to students to assist you in your personal and career development.

In addition, the recently launched DCU graduate credit card aims to provide support for the student community. All funds raised from the Affinity Card will go towards projects including: Academic & Sports scholarships, Library books and equipment , On-campus facilities and Alumni events
