Transition Year Programme 

Note: The 2024-25 online application form will open in October 2024.

The TU Dublin School of Architecture, Building and Environment Transition Year Programme is an annual event which is open to all TY students interested in a career in the Built Environment with a focus on Architecture, Architectural Technology, Spatial Planning and Environmental Management. There is a special emphasis on diversity within the cohort of students as part of TU Dublin's widening participation strategy.

The TY event begins with a series of short exercises exploring materials and creativity and continues with a series of talks on architecture and the built environment. Each year tours are conducted of the Georgian quarter of Dublin along with exploring the best in contemporary architecture.

We place a special emphasis in learning by doing and working in a collaborative manner to get a feel for the college and working experience. The participants are encouraged to work in teams in studying the built environment and engaging in short design exercises.  They will meet staff and engage with current TU Dublin students to get an understanding of university life. Practical advice is offered on the entry requirements along with advice on how to further follow up interest in the TU Dublin programmes.
