We’re thrilled to announce that TU Dublin has officially been awarded the University of Sanctuary (UoS) accreditation! This is a huge milestone for us as a university and an exciting step forward in our commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.
What is University of Sanctuary (UoS)?
The University of Sanctuary accreditation is a special recognition given to universities that go above and beyond to provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive space for refugees, asylum seekers, and individuals from sanctuary-seeking backgrounds. It’s all about creating a sense of belonging for everyone—no matter where they come from or what their journey has been.
At TU Dublin, this accreditation reflects our dedication to fostering a university community where diversity is celebrated, and every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.
Why This Matters for Us
Receiving this accreditation is more than just an award—it’s a reflection of our values and the collective effort of so many individuals across the university who have worked tirelessly to make TU Dublin a place where everyone belongs. This accreditation highlights our commitment to social justice, equality, and inclusion, ensuring that sanctuary students can access quality education and find a place to call home within our academic community.
It also sends a powerful message: TU Dublin is a place where everyone, regardless of background, immigration status, or past experiences, has the opportunity to thrive.
