Social Supports & Social Life at ICD

We are a learning community at ICD. Our staff and students are partners, learning and working hard together. However, ICD college life is not only about hard work and study, even though they are very important. ICD’s learning community is also a social community. As a small college, we are like a family. All students and staff tend to know each other at ICD and we take pride in building friendships with all our students. We do spend a lot of time in the classroom. However, we also have an increasingly busy social calendar including:

Staff and Student attendance at social events such as concerts

The Annual Graduation Ceremony, held at Dublin City Hall every year

In our college canteen, every day!!

Some colleges have a separate canteen for staff. However, at ICD, staff and students share the canteen together as equals.

The annual ICD barbeque

Every year, staff and students get together for a barbeque to celebrate the start of the summer and the end of another successful academic year

Welcome dinners for new students

Parties and events to marks special occasions
