Program Highlights

Dublin City University as one of Dublin's premier universities, DCU offers state-of-the-art facilities and technology to its students. Courses in Business, Humanities, Science, etc. are available.

You’ll have an individual IES Abroad Program Advisor to guide you before your study abroad adventure. From visa requirements to travel details, they are your #1 resource for preparing to study abroad.

Amongst the Irish

by: Grace Konstantin - United StatesProgram: IES Abroad Dublin Direct Enrollment – Dublin City University

Since returning to the U.S., looking back on my time in Ireland feels like remembering another life. It was an absolutely whirlwind of 4 months, filled to the brim with experiences I may never live again but I will be eternally grateful for. Study abroad is this bizarre period in which it’s so easy to get caught up in the fantasy of it all – oh, I’ll spend my birthday in Paris or take a quick weekend in Madrid to try real paella and then meet some friends of a friend in Edinburgh? Easy. Book a R...

New Country, Good Life

When I decided I wanted to study abroad, I knew that I wanted to do more than study. IES's direct enrollment program was great because I was guaranteed to fulfill both my academic requirements and my wish to travel. My main concerns while planning my semester were not where I was going to live or when to book my flights, but rather what I wanted to see and what I wanted to do. Living and studying in Dublin was wonderful. The college, while it may be a bit behind the times administratively, has...

Now that I am home and in my predominant comfort zone, I realize how thrilling it was to expand my levels of comfort to new maxima. I have never been one to lengthen my socio-cultural boundaries but after four months of creating a new path, this was an essential move for me. After a semester in Dublin, Ireland, I am proud to call this bustling city my home. I made a connection to this city, my university, and the inhabitants of this beautiful locale. I had the privilege of being e...

In high school whenever I visited colleges I always asked the tour guides if they had studied abroad. Everyone that answered no said they regretted it. Since then, I knew that study abroad was going to be an opportunity in college that I would not miss out on.

I decided to study abroad because I wanted to force myself to reevaluate my basic assumptions about the world and about myself.

I have always wanted to reconnect with my family in Ireland. My grandma made sure that our family grew up in an Irish lifestyle, full of Irish dance, memorizing traditional Irish tunes, and telling us stories about her parents who immigrated to the U.S. from Ireland. I have always known that I would study abroad somewhere in Ireland and I would do anything to make that happen.
