Overview
OnCampus Independent College gives international students a supported route into contemporary business and law education in the heart of Dublin. Students first complete a foundation programme with OnCampus Ireland at UniHaven College, before progressing to a QQI-accredited degree at Independent College, subject to meeting the required academic and English language standards.
Established in 2007, Independent College Dublin is a contemporary third-level institution specialising in Business and Law. It is located on the edge of Dublin's Silicon Docks, placing students at the centre of the city's financial, cultural, entertainment and shopping districts, an inspiring and connected setting for studying subjects with real-world relevance. The college balances academic rigour with an entrepreneurial spirit, and its Business and Law programmes are designed with strong industry connections in mind.
Through the OnCampus pathway, students can progress to the college's QQI-accredited Bachelor of Arts (Hons) Business degree, alongside options in Humanities and Social Sciences-related subjects. Postgraduate students can also progress via the Pre-Master's Programme onto the Master of Arts in Dispute Resolution, subject to meeting the relevant entry requirements.
Services
Independent College provides comprehensive support services designed to help students thrive both personally and professionally, including academic guidance, wellbeing assistance and support with securing internships.
Before progression, OnCampus Ireland's dedicated Student Support team guides students through their foundation year at UniHaven College, helping ease the academic and practical transition into full degree study. The college's central, connected campus also means international students can quickly plug into Dublin's wider student and professional community from day one.
Rankings
As a specialist third-level institution rather than a traditionally ranked university, Independent College Dublin's reputation is best reflected in its student feedback and industry links: internal student survey data from 2024 points to strong satisfaction with the learning environment.
Accommodation
Independent College does not operate its own halls of residence, so students typically arrange private rental accommodation in Dublin, supported where needed by college guidance. Before progressing to Independent College, students based at OnCampus Ireland's UniHaven College in Maynooth can access accommodation including The Duke on Maynooth's Main Street, homestay arrangements through OnCampus's accommodation partner, and further options via the dedicated OnCampus booking portal.
Location
Independent College sits on the edge of Dublin's Silicon Docks, Ireland's thriving tech and innovation district, within the city's main financial, cultural, entertainment and shopping quarters. This central position gives students easy access to Dublin's professional networking opportunities alongside its lively social and cultural scene, from museums and theatres to restaurants and shopping. The college benefits from excellent public transport connections across the city, making it simple for students to explore further afield, while Dublin Airport offers straightforward links for international travel home or further study abroad.
