MAHONY Hall in The Helix hosted three graduation ceremonies on Friday, 27 March, as approximately 1,300 DCU graduates from multiple disciplines were awarded with their parchments.
Among them was Lauren Dwyer from Portlaoise, who received a master’s degree in Electronic and Computer Engineering. She was joined on the day by her mother, Joan.
Students in attendance represented the University’s five faculties: the DCU Business School, the Institute of Education, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Science & Health, and the Faculty of Engineering & Computing.
The 2026 ceremonies also saw the first graduates from the new MA course in Documentary Practice cross the stage.
Speaking at the graduation ceremonies Prof Dáire Keogh, President of Dublin City University, said: “Today is a special day, a day when we get to celebrate the very purpose of our University: the education and graduation of our students.
“We wish each of our graduates every success in the years to come as they make their contribution to the DCU mission ‘to transform lives and societies’.”
