National College of Ireland was originally founded over 50 years ago as the College of Industrial Relations and Human Resources. It moved to its current location in the IFSC in 2001 and now offers a variety of business, accounting, IT, and computing courses to students. Some key facts about NCI include that it is located in Dublin's IFSC within 5 minutes of Connolly Station by train or bus, and it guarantees on-campus accommodation to first year students. NCI provides both undergraduate degree programs and higher certificate courses with options for studies in areas such as business, HR management, accounting, financial services, and IT.
