The University aims to integrate and embed the principles of equity of access and universal design throughout the institution. A suite of responses to widen access and ensure participation by diverse student cohorts, including students with disabilities, mature students, part-time learners, and students from communities experiencing socio-economic disadvantage has been put together by UCD Access and lifelong learning and further information is available at https://www.ucd.ie/all/aboutus/
