About DBS

DBS is Ireland’s leading private college for business, liberal arts and law, providing a comprehensive range of undergraduate, graduate, professional and executive educational programs. Established in 1975 as an accountancy training school, DBS acquired LSB College in 1999, (which was subsequently renamed DBS School of Arts), European Business School (EBS) in 2006 and, most recently, Portobello College in 2007. Together, Dublin Business School, DBS School of Arts, EBS and Portobello College make up the largest, private, university-level institution in Ireland with a student body of more than 8,500. The combined strengths of the four institutions provide students with access to a wide range of programs and courses, enhanced academic facilities and a larger pool of academic expertise.

DBS is a city center college comprised of several buildings within very close walking distance to each other. Although not a traditional campus, the school maintains a sense of community through the academic and administrative staff, the student clubs and activities and its overall commitment to the student experience.

DBS facilities and services include:

• Extensive libraries
• Student cafeteria
• 5 High tech IT labs
• Wireless internet access
• Film and media labs
• Modern classrooms
