Ireland

Why study in Ireland?

Ireland is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. After all, who can resist jaw-dropping scenery, friendly people, and fascinating culture? Home to 4.6 million people, The Republic of Ireland has around the same population as New Zealand. Like New Zealand, it’s a small country with a big heart and something beautiful around every corner.     

I think that I have developed a lot internally and further expanded my view of the world – externally I’m still the same old girl who loves learning, laughing and life, but I have learnt some huge life lessons that I will carry with me forever.

Placements

You can choose to study in Ireland for as little as four months or as long as one academic year. There are limited spots available in Irish schools for non-EU students, so it’s important to apply as early as possible. Most schools in Ireland have a Catholic religious ethos but all religious denominations (and none at all) are welcome.

We offer placements in the following counties: Cork, Galway, May, Louth, Meath, Kerry, Clare, Waterford, Wexford, Limerick, Tipperary and Kilkenny. You are welcome to let us know your preferred location but we cannot guarantee your preference will be met. Students will most likely be placed in lowly-populated suburbs or rural areas, although they may be placed in cities. All of our host families are carefully vetted for safety and suitability. We conduct home interviews, inspections, and police checks to ensure our students are placed in a secure and supportive environment.
