We’ve got it all sorted for study abroad tours

For more and more students, a Study Abroad Programme is an invaluable part of their education, exposing them to a new culture, new ideas, new experiences – and a new outlook on life. At UCD, we fully appreciate the importance of study abroad tours, and understand their role in creating better students and better people.

For US colleges intent on taking their students to overseas universities during summer, the primary concern is to select a country – and a city – that offers maximum exposure to a different way of life, but in a safe, nurturing and secure environment, with excellent summer student housing for both study abroad and intern groups.

UCD is very well equipped in this regard. For the peace of mind of study abroad tours, it is located on a modern campus in the heart of a leafy, affluent residential area on Dublin’s Southside. Security is an important part of our offering, with round-the-clock monitoring by an in-house team of experts. Dublin, too, is a very safe city by international standards, and the traditional Irish welcome seems that little bit stronger and more vocal when offered to our ‘American cousins’.

Time and again, our study abroad students tell us that what they like most about their visit to Ireland are their interactions with the ordinary Irish people, whether asking for directions, meeting up with friendly locals.

In terms of our ability to serve our study abroad or internship housing students with maximum efficiency, we are just a mile from the nearby St. Vincent’s University Hospital in case of medical emergency, and superb WiFi means that our students can be constantly in touch with home for advice or direction, if needed.
