Oscail - DCU Distance Education has provided adults all over Ireland with flexible access to third level education since 1982. Thousands of students have graduated with Dublin City University degrees through Oscail in that time.

Oscail’s mission is to assist our students in achieving their educational goals without the need to attend regular campus-based classes. As an Oscail student, you can study in your own time, at your own pace and whatever place is convenient to you.

As Oscail courses consist of a series on individual modules, you can tailor your study workload to the time you have available and build up credits towards your degree over time.

Oscail provides attractive options to study on both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Oscail undergraduate courses are open to anyone and, if you are over 23, you do not need a Leaving Certificate.
