New York University: Dublin - NYU Summer in Dublin

Dublin is one of the world’s friendliest, most beautiful and most welcoming cities. Small enough for students to get to know well in six weeks, but large enough to provide an authentic, vibrant, big city experience, Dublin is an ideal place to study abroad. The city’s combination of intimacy and cosmopolitanism is reflected in the ethos of our program, which fosters a friendly and close-knit atmosphere, but also looks beyond the boundaries of the city to give students a taste of everything that Ireland has to offer–from traditional music festivals to the stunning islands of Ireland’s west coast. 

Our home base is Trinity College, Ireland’s most prestigious university, located right in the heart of Dublin. Trinity’s famous front gate and stone walls enclose a beautiful, safe, ivy-covered campus, where our students live in individual rooms in dormitory accommodations, which one former student described as “absolutely amazing.”

The immersive experience that the program provides is a key part of NYU in Dublin: rather than experiencing the city as tourists, our students live in the heart of Dublin, getting to know the city and its people as locals. As one of our students put it, “Dublin became a second home to me.” The program is open to both undergraduate and graduate students from NYU or from other universities. Program participants pursue an intensive study of Irish society and culture through courses in sociology, history, literature, Irish language and culture, and creative writing.
