MANAGEMENT
4.1 DESCRIPTION, LEGAL ORIGIN, FUNCTIONS AND OBJECTIVES
4.1.1 DESCRIPTION University College Dublin, National University of Ireland, Dublin, is the largest University in Ireland. Its long tradition in the provision of University education commenced in 1851 with the establishment of its predecessor, the Catholic University of Ireland, from which it expanded through amalgamation with other institutions of higher learning and through pioneering study in new disciplines to become what is now University College Dublin. With over eighty academic Departments offering courses of study through the Faculties of Agriculture, Arts, Celtic Studies, Commerce, Engineering and Architecture, Law, Medicine, Philosophy and Sociology, Science and Veterinary Medicine, the University’s teaching embraces a variety of disciplines, providing programmes ranging in intensity from part-time certificate courses to professional qualifications and doctoral and post-doctoral study and research. The University is unique in Ireland in offering teaching in the four life sciences of agriculture, science, medicine and veterinary medicine.
UCD is a dynamic modern University that is renowned nationally and internationally for its research in the humanities and the sciences. The academic staff are engaged in teaching and research in their disciplines and in the communication of research findings through publication and participation in international conferences and seminars. They also engage in research endeavours in partnership with other universities in Ireland and throughout the world, with industry and with national and international government agencies.
The academic activities of the University are supported by an administrative framework that provides a wide range of services to both academic Departments and to students, including student health and welfare, student accommodation, language and laboratory facilities, careers advice, catering, computing services, conference and lecture facilities, examinations co- ordination and support, equipment, information and process management, library and research facilities, property management and maintenance, security and sports facilities. Administrative offices and Departments also facilitate the formulation and implementation of university policies and procedures in such areas as dignity and respect, equality of opportunity, freedom of information, procurement, and health and safety.
There are approximately 20,000 students at UCD, twenty-five per cent of whom are engaged in postgraduate study. Over 5,000 adults enrol annually in the University’s adult education programme, attending full-time and part-time courses on the main campuses of the University and at its various outreach centres. Students from abroad are well represented, with over 1,500 students attending from countries worldwide, many through student exchange programmes in which the University participates.
Section 15 Reference Manual
The main campus of the University is at Belfield, a 132 hectare site situated 5km to the south of the centre of Dublin city; there are also campuses at Blackrock, which accommodates the Graduate Business School; at Earlsfort Terrace in the centre of Dublin city, which houses Departments within the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture and the Faculty of Medicine; at Ballsbridge, which is the site of the School of Veterinary Medicine; and in Co. Dublin, where the Lyons Research Farm accommodates Departments and activities under the aegis of the Faculty of Agriculture and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. The University also occupies Newman House on St. Stephen’s Green in Dublin’s city centre, originally acquired by the Catholic University during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Development of the Belfield campus began in 1934, with the purchase of Belfield House in Stillorgan, Co. Dublin, to which was gradually added the adjacent properties of Merville House, Ardmore House, Richview, Roebuck Castle, White Oaks and Woodview House during the period 1949 to 1958. In 1960, Dáil Éireann approved the transfer of UCD from its various city centre locations to Belfield and in 1964 the Science Building was opened and an international competition was launched to design new buildings for the Faculty of Arts and to house the University administration. Today, the University continues the programme of capital investment to accommodate relocation and expansion.
4.1.2 LEGAL ORIGIN Foundation of the Catholic University of Ireland University College Dublin originated in the Catholic University of Ireland, founded in 1851 through the efforts of Paul Cullen (1803-1878), Archbishop of Armagh, and the Catholic University Committee, a body set up by the 1850 National Synod of Thurles in response to the Colleges Act, 1845 (8 and 9 Vict., c.66). This Act, which enabled the establishment of the Queen’s University of Ireland in 1850 as a regulatory and degree conferring body for the three nondenominational Queen’s Colleges at Belfast, Cork and Galway, had not, in the view of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, addressed the question of University education in Ireland for Catholics.
Although not chartered and with no state support, the new University was formally established with five Faculties, Theology, Law, Medicine, Philosophy and Letters on 18 May 1854, and John Henry Newman (1801-1890), later Cardinal Newman, was installed as Rector. On 3 November 1854, lectures in the Faculties of Theology, Philosophy and Letters began. In November 1855, the Catholic University Medical School opened as a constituent college of the University at Cecelia Street, Dublin. The granting of licences to practise to graduates of the medical school by chartered licensing bodies meant that the school did not suffer the fate of the University proper, where the lack of official recognition soon told in student numbers, which fell from over one hundred in 1854 to twenty by 1874.
University Education Act, 1879 (42 and 43 Vict., c.65) The University Education (Ireland) Act, 1879 provided state recognition for degrees of the Catholic University by replacing the Queen’s University of Ireland with a new chartered examining and conferring body, the Royal University of Ireland, located at Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin. The Royal University had no affiliate colleges, did not provide tuition and students were prepared for its examinations in a range of educational institutions, including several secondary schools with University Departments. It directed its
