Senior College Dún Laoghaire (SCD) is a college of further education which was established in 1982.

Since its foundation the college developed rapidly and was soon providing Accounting, Marketing, Business, Beautician, Interactive Media and Interior Design courses for full-time and part-time students. The College is now one of the largest educational providers in the Further Education (FE) sector and offers full-time, mornings only as well as nigh classes courses. The college provides awards at FETAC Levels 5 and 6 as well as the more advanced BTEC/Edexcel Higher National Diploma/Certificate etc. Many students who successfully complete the Higher National Diploma in Business progress onto the third (& final) year of a related degree in Swansea University or IADT Dun Laoghaire.

SCD continues to offer a wide range of professional programmes with professional bodies such as Accounting Technicians Ireland, CompTIA, ITEC and BTEC to name but a few.
