Overview
OnCampus National College of Ireland gives international students a supported pathway into one of Dublin's most career-focused higher education institutions. Students first complete a foundation programme with OnCampus Ireland at UniHaven College, before progressing to a degree at NCI, subject to meeting the required academic and English language standards.
It offers a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across business, computing, data analytics, psychology, human resource management and education, all developed in collaboration with leading employers to ensure real-world relevance from day one.
NCI's academic programmes are awarded by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI), and the college is well regarded for its academic excellence, innovation and research focus, alongside partnerships with numerous international universities that offer students study abroad opportunities. With a 96% graduate employability rate, NCI ranks among Ireland's best institutions for graduate outcomes. Through the OnCampus pathway, students progressing to NCI join a college built around experiential learning, critical thinking and practical, career-ready skills, supported by experienced, highly qualified faculty throughout their studies.

Before progression, OnCampus Ireland's own Student Support team helps guide students through their foundation year at UniHaven College, ensuring continuity of support into full degree study.
