Overview
Dublin welcomes you to experience life in the cultural and economic heart of Ireland. Known for its world-class art and music scene, your Irish education extends beyond the classroom when you listen to live music in Temple Bar or take in a show at the famed Abbey Theatre. See Irish literature come to life as you walk the same streets as authors George Bernard Shaw, Edna O'Brien, James Joyce, and William Butler Yeats.
In this history-focused program, you learn about Irish culture through courses in the humanities and social sciences that focus on themes of tradition, change, and identity in modern Ireland. Choose from a plethora of IES Abroad courses taught by local, expert faculty. Supplement your courses with a part-time internship and take advantage of field trips outside of the city.
Join your professors on course-related trips around the city to expand your understanding of Irish culture and society. Previous trips have included visits to the National Museum of Ireland, the prehistoric monument Newgrange, and a stadium tour of Croke Park—home of the Gaelic Athletic Association.
