Am I required to submit original documentation?

We can review your application using scanned copies or photocopies of your documentation, however, if you receive an offer of a place on one of our programmes you will be required to send by mail/post (or deliver in person) hard copy, official or verified academic transcripts for each individual year of your undergraduate degree stating all subjects taken and grades achieved.

Scanned copies or photocopies of documents will NOT be accepted at this stage. Original transcripts are those which have been printed on the official headed paper of your University/College and they may be stamped or signed by the awarding institution. You will also be required to submit original IELTS/TOEFL or TOEIC score sheets.

These documents should be mailed/posted to the address below quoting your name and application number:
Admissions Office
UCD Michael Smurfit Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School
Carysfort Avenue
Blackrock

When will I receive a decision on my application?

Applications are processed by the Admissions Team on a rolling basis which means that once we have received your completed application form AND supporting documents (such as your academic transcripts for your undergraduate degree), we aim to get back to you with a decision on your application within 2 - 3 weeks.

Please note, however, that the turnaround time for the reviewing of applications may take longer during peak periods (March – July).


What documents are required?

  • Academic transcripts for each year of your Bachelor’s degree/Higher Diploma/Masters to date. Academic transcripts are documents issued by your University/College which state all of the subjects which you have taken as part of your studies and the grades which you have achieved in each subject area.
  • An up to date Curriculum Vitae
  • Letters of Recommendation (where required)
  • English Language test score (IELTS/TOEFL/TOEIC) (where applicable)
  • A copy of your passport or Birth Certificate

Present or past UCD students are not required to submit their academic transcripts or a copy of their passport/birth certificate.

IMPORTANT: Do not submit more than one application form for the same programme. If you are unsure as to whether your application form has been submitted or not please contact the Admissions Office on smurfit.admissions@ucd.ie. DO NOT press submit again or complete a new application form.
