NSHSS members were recently presented with an exciting opportunity to meet university admissions officers from seven different Irish universities at the 2012 Fall Open House Events in New York, NY; Pearl River, NY; Boston, MA; and Fairfield, CT.
Universities in Attendance:
Trinity College Dublin
Dublin City University
NUI Galway
National University of Ireland Maynooth
University College Cork
University College Dublin
University of Limerick
These universities expressed interest in meeting NSHSS members and their families to discuss unique opportunities to study at a prestigious international university.
Each of the Irish Universities has a Study Abroad office which is responsible for co-ordinating programmes aimed at overseas students spending either a summer, a semester or a full academic year studying in Ireland. The objective in any Study Abroad Programme is to experience different lifestyles and encounter new viewpoints. Junior Year Abroad and Study Abroad programmes offer students a unique and enriching educational and cultural experience.
Modules are offered in a broad spectrum of faculties and, with the exception of Summer Programmes, have aGPA entry requirement and involve a full-time course load. Many of these programmes involve credit transfer arrangements with overseas Universities and Colleges. We encourage students to visit the websites of the universities or contact the institutions directly for further detailed information on the Study Abroad programmes on offer. Applications for all Study Abroad programmes should be made directly to the relevant institution.
In addition to full undergraduate and postgraduate courses, Irish colleges offer a wide selection of study programmes specifically designed to meet the needs of overseas students. These range from summer programmes, to semester and full academic year programmes over a broad spectrum of faculties.
