The College View

The platform of student news and student views in DCU since 1999. Powered by DCUMPS, the home of student media in DCU

About The College View

The College View is Dublin City University’s only student newspaper, independently run voluntarily by students affiliated to DCU’s Journalism Society. The newspaper was first published in 1999 after changing its name from The Bullsheet, its predecessor.

The College View has nine sections – News, Opinions, Features, Irish, Sports, Lifestyle, Satire, Science and Tech and our arts section, The Hype. These sections cover everything from DCU student issues to national student issues, humour and satire to life through the eyes of students, as well as extensive sports coverage and analysis. The Irish section is written and edited by students studying Journalism through Irish in DCU.

The College View is published fortnightly on Wednesday, with six issues per semester and is circulated among 12,000 students as well as DCU lecturers and staff.
