National College of Ireland (NCI) (Coláiste Náisiúnta na hÉireann (CNÉ) in Irish) is a not-for-profit, state-aided third-level education institution in Dublin. It was founded in 1951 as a joint venture between the Jesuits in Ireland and Irish trade unions, and was originally named the Catholic Workers College, Dublin. It is now an independent higher education institution, offering full and part-time courses from undergraduate to postgraduate level, in the areas of business, computing, psychology and education.

Courses are delivered both from the IFSC campus in Dublin and online. The campus is located close to the city centre and is serviced by the Mayor Square – NCI stop on the Luas Red Line. Facilities available on the campus include a library, gym, restaurant, recreation room and the Students’ Union. In October 2022, it was announced that NCI completed the purchase of the West Wing, Block R, Spencer Dock which allow for a campus expansion.[1] The building is expected to open in late 2023.

NCI’s School of Business is the academic home to over 2,500 students studying programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. The approach to teaching is to blend a variety of classroom, group, and experiential activities to enhance the learning experience of students.

Dr Colette Darcy is the Dean of the School of Business at National College of Ireland.
