University College Dublin (commonly referred to as UCD) (Irish: Coláiste na hOllscoile, Baile Átha Cliath) is a public research university in Dublin, Ireland, and a member institution of the National University of Ireland. With 38,417 students, it is Ireland's largest university,[4] and amongst the most prestigious universities in Europe.[5][6][7][8] Five Nobel Laureates are among UCD's alumni and current and former staff.[9][10] Additionally, four Taoisigh (Prime Ministers) and three Irish Presidents have graduated from UCD, along with one President of India.[11][12]

UCD originates in a body founded in 1854, which opened as the Catholic University of Ireland on the feast of St. Malachy with John Henry Newman as its first rector; it re-formed in 1880 and chartered in its own right in 1908. The Universities Act, 1997 renamed the constituent university as the "National University of Ireland, Dublin", and a ministerial order of 1998 renamed the institution as "University College Dublin – National University of Ireland, Dublin".[13]

Originally located at St Stephen's Green[14] and Earlsfort terrace in Dublin's city centre, all faculties have since relocated to a 133-hectare (330-acre)[15] campus at Belfield, six kilometres to the south of the city centre. In 1991, it purchased a second site in Blackrock.[16] This currently houses the Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School.

A report published in May 2015 showed the economic output generated by UCD and its students in Ireland amounted to €1.3 billion annually.[17]
