University College Dublin (UCD) has announced scholarships for students from India, reports Aaditi Isaac
To assist more students from India to study in Ireland, University College Dublin (UCD) has announced scholarships at the undergraduate and Masters-level.
“We are looking to reach out to top students in India. Expanding our scholarship base is the best way to emphasise our commitment to these students- by reducing obstacles for them when they look to Ireland and UCD as study destinations. UCD has 260 Indian students as part of its 26,000-strong student body (of which 5,500 are international students – earning UCD the title of ‘Ireland’s Global University’). We would love to see these numbers double across all programmes – particularly those programmes where Indian students don’t typically flock to in great numbers. We have great offerings in languages, politics and international relations, IP & IT Law along with maintaining a strong contact with popular programmes such as mechanical engineering, computer science, biotechnology and public health,” says Jeremy Simpson, associate dean, international studies, University College Dublin.
The scholarship fund will be in excess of 300,000 euro and about 100 scholarships would be available to Indian students. A range of scholarships will be available for students --- full tuition fee scholarship to 50% and 25% scholarships to bursaries of 2,000 euro.
“The major scholarships, including the four full-tuition VV Giri scholarships are merit-based. The VV Giri scholarship will be launched to celebrate 100 years of VV Giri, the fourth President of India, choosing UCD for law. He studied law in UCD between 1913 to 1916. Many subject areas in UCD enjoy strong profile and the VV Giri association with law is one. Today 10 of the 11 current Supreme Court justices are UCD alumni as well as the university has the largest number of Chief Justices and Attorney Generals in Ireland,” he adds.
The university is looking to build a robust presence in India and such a move will facilitate that process. The University College Dublin is launching an office in Delhi next year.
