Experience A New Culture

Ireland has a vibrant cultural landscape that reflects its young, dynamic and changing population, merging modern trends with its own rich history, music, language and traditions, which combined with landscapes of stunning natural beauty, makes for a heady mix for visitors, students and inhabitants alike.

We recognise the importance of weaving both culture and tourism into an immersive learning experience and offer many tailor-made weekend excursions to many of Ireland’s popular tourist destinations as part of our student programs. These excursions will give a real and unique flavour of what our beautiful country has to offer.

Build Personal Development

An academic term or year abroad provides students with an invaluable opportunity for personal development, increasing cultural knowledge and awareness, and gaining confidence in using another language. With our vast experience developed over the last number of years, we understand that for most international students, the appeal is likely to be a combination of gaining a high-quality education, experiencing immersion in a new culture (and often a second language), gaining a global mindset and expanding future employment prospects. Without exception, every international student that has completed one of our programs will tell you that their personal development has been a huge benefit, and they can hold their heads up high with much more confidence than before.

Develop Life Experience & Friendships

The Irish are some of the happiest and welcoming people you’ll ever meet. It’s part of our genetic make-up that so often we are looking to have a laugh and enjoy ourselves. We also love to share their laughs and stories with visitors so every year our resident foreigners always feel very welcome. Hospitality plays a large role in irish culture, so you’ll likely get to know a lot of locals during your stay.. Although social circles (among locals) are very solid – friendships often last well beyond the length of a particular program. So many of our students are keen to make new friends, and the environment you will find yourself in with other like minded individuals will ensure new friendships that for many will last a lifetime. Trust us when we tell you that your experience of Irish life will stand to you wherever you are from and wherever you go in the world afterwards.
