ICD Business School was established to cater to those students who do not want to be enrolled in a college or university that is large and impersonal. The success of ICD to date has been based on this principle. Attention to detail and the utmost care for the student has been the underlying ethos of ICD.

Many prospective students, particularly international students do not want to be a number in a system, as is the case with most other colleges. At ICD the student is part of a family.

Parties, Barbeques and Trips

Part of the experience for the ICD student is obviously academic, but also, all students are encouraged to participate in the extra curricular activities. These include trips in Ireland to places of interest, both historical and of beauty. Events such as summer barbeques, Christmas parties are organised and are free to all ICD students.

European Travel

Each year the college organises trips to different European locations. Groups of up to fifty students travel each year to locations such as Italy, (Rome, Florence, Pompeii, Naples, Sorrento and the Amalfi coast) Spain (Barcelona Portaventura, Calella) . This allows students to experience more than just Ireland, but European cities and European culture.

Imagine touring ancient Rome, viewing the Coliseum, the Vatican and visiting the ruins of Pompeii, along with shopping in one of the worlds most cosmopolitan capitals. Experience such wonders as a visit to Salvador Dali’s museum in Spain and marvel at works of art by Picasso.

This year students can discover the delights of Portugal, with visits to Estoril, Obidos, Alco Baca and Nazare. ICD will arrange visas for students for these trips. All trips include fully guided excursions.

Located in the heart of Dublin city, ICD caters to both Irish and international students alike, promising to deliver students an educational experience which will equip them with the knowledge, understanding and skills required for success in a modern business environment. Qualifications are recognised by The National Framework of Qualifications of Ireland (NFQI) and also by the main Professional Bodies governing the particular educational field (ACCA, CIMA, CPA, and MII). All qualifications are recognised internationally.

Classes will never exceed forty students, ensuring each student receives the attention he/she requires. It terms of qualifications ICD brings students from certificate right up to Honours degree level, which equates to level five through to eight on the NFQI. ICD offers an honours degree in Accounting and Finance, which is validated by HETAC (Higher Education Training Awards Council). This is a joint venture between ICD and BBP Professional Education. BPP is the leading college in the delivery of professional accountancy qualifications in Ireland and the UK. This course aims to prepare the student for a career in accounting and finance and as it is at level eight on the NFQI it allows students entry into the professional accountancy programmes of all the main professional accountancy bodies with further access to Masters' programmes both home and abroad. This degree can be completed in three years full-time study or over four to five years part-time.

ICD promises the college experience in a familiar, personal environment while providing students with the skills and knowledge to propel them far in their chosen career path. For more information on how to pursue your career with the help of ICD go to www.icd.ie
