Summer Study Abroad Programs in Ireland
The welcoming locals will show you the ways of experiencing a summer abroad in Ireland to the fullest — from exploring charming chapels to bustling markets to long walks on the beach. The lively musical atmosphere (not to mention step dance!) will keep your spirits high while you sip on carefully pulled stouts in darkened pubs.
Dublin. The capital of Ireland is located on the east coast and borders the Irish sea, a low mountain range, and farmland in a maritime climate with cool summers. Marvel at medieval castles and cathedrals along the cobblestoned streets on your class excursions. Discover numerous music and arts festivals boasting jazz and blues. Celebrate the summer solstice at Body and Soul, where you can boogie on the grounds of the Ballinlough Castle, or hit Sea Sessions to play rugby or ultimate frisbee while listening to a live DJ. Whoever said to study abroad in Ireland in summer experience is boring was just plain WRONG!
Limerick. This city, with a small-town feel, lies in the midwest region of Ireland on the River Shannon, where you can take a tour on a kayak. Students will love the cultural, artistic, and adventure activities Limerick has to offer. Go for a bike ride on the Ballyhoura Mountain trails, gander at arts and artefacts at the Hunt Museum, and explore the iconic King John’s castle. Visit the nearby cities of Galway, Clare, Cork, Tipperary, and Kerry when you need a long break from your studies!
Galway. Ireland’s cultural heart is situated in West Ireland and lies on the River Corrib. You’ll love the cozy atmosphere of this university city, which invites you to explore the nearby Aran Island, Dunguaire Castle, and the Spanish Arch. Stroll through Brigit’s Garden for some down time and then kick off the night with new buds at Quay Street. You won’t want to miss the Galway Races festival — a weeklong event with delicious foods, fabulous fashion, and top horse racing.
