You’ll find delicious Lebanese cuisine, trendy film cafés, and colorful international parades alongside statues of Irish literary giants. A US-style education a world away – Your host institution, Dublin City University, is modeled on the US university education experience, so you’ll have less educational culture shock.

Semester in Dublin is housed at Dublin City University (DCU). Unlike the academic systems of most Irish universities, when it comes to teaching and learning, DCU’s system is loosely based on the American system. Rather than having one or two projects or presentations deciding your entire grade, you will have “continual assessment". That being said, you will have more responsibility for learning material outside of class than you may be used to. The main subject areas available at DCU: biology, biotechnology, business, chemistry, communication, computer science, economics, engineering, environmental sciences, health, intercultural communication, international relations, journalism, law, nursing, physics, political studies, and sport science.

It has more of a small city feel with a lot to do! All of Dublin's great attractions are in the heart of the city. Shortly after you arrive you will be able to feel the passion that Dubliners have for their sports teams (including football (soccer), rugby, and Gaelic Football). From museums and libraries, to more modern day attractions (The Guinness Factory being a favorite among travelers), you'll always have something to keep you occupied. Dublin is home to numerous conc
