UCD Lochlann Quinn School of Business

One week already since the annual UCD Business undergraduate Summer school took place with over 200 transition and fifth-year students visiting Quinn to explore university life.

What a fun day with taster lectures and interactive workshops on Marketing in Society, AI, Digital Innovation, Decision Making, Entrepreneurship, Supply Chain, and Global Business.

Thanks to all who took part and to our amazing student ambassadors for helping to make the day such a success.

It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm from the next generation of students and hopefully we will see some of the participants join us for Orientation in 2027 & 2028!
