Course Description
Explore the rich cultural traditions of Ireland in this three-week summer course. We will spend our first two weeks in Galway, a vibrant small city on the Atlantic coast, studying traditional Ireland. In Galway, we will stay on the campus of the National University of Ireland, and take a number of day trips—including the Cliffs of Moher, the Aran Islands, and Roscommon Castle.
For the final week, we will relocate to Dublin, Ireland’s capital and largest city, where we will study modern Ireland. From our base at Dublin City University, we will visit a variety of cultural and historical sites in the city itself.
