Study Abroad | Dublin

The International program at Dublin City University gives visiting students the opportunity to take a wide variety of courses (subject to prerequisites) from 5 different academic streams studying alongside local students. The university offers a flexible curriculum across the humanities & social science, business, engineering & computing, science & health science and education fields with students typically taking 4 courses per semester from one of these streams. Students may choose up to six 3-credit courses but to ensure a manageable workload we recommend a maximum of 5. 

Working side by side with locals is an ideal way to gain insight into another culture, to understand different approaches and to prepare for the realities of working in a multicultural and interdependent world. AIFS Abroad has designed the Study + Internship Program to combine a traditional academic learning experience with a unique opportunity to study working life in Ireland firsthand with placements in Dublin based organizations. 

Students select two or three courses of 3 credits each from the regular offering of courses on the International Program at DCU in addition to a 6-credit internship in their field of study for up to 15 credits. Placements are available in the following fields: accounting, business, communications, engineering, finance, graphic design, IT, law, marketing, NGO (a non-profit organization), psychology and many more. 

In a competitive world, practical experience is an invaluable addition to classroom learning. The internship provides vital insight into a career field, experience in the global workplace, practical exposure to the demands of specific jobs and development of professional and personal skills. International work experience helps students test a potential career path while exploring interests and abilities in new ways. 

Credit for the internship placement is awarded by Fairfield University.
