"While I was abroad, I became involved in the International Student Society which allowed me to not only meet Irish students, but students from all over the world. It also was a great way of seeing Ireland, as they often planned outings in various parts of Ireland. I learned that cultures, although some may seem similar to our own, operate in different ways, but that does not necessarily make it wrong or strange, just different." -Liv Thomson
It was a great time seeing so much music everywhere and seeing how inseparable it was from so many settings. In Ireland, it would be difficult going a day without hearing some great folk music.- Preston Turner
Linfield students are encouraged to take a course in Gaelic Studies.
Community Service/Service Learning is a required component of this program.
NUIG's Community Service Office will help coordinate this for students.
Additional Requirements
Minimum 3.0 GPA
It is highly recommended students take TCCA 230 (Intercultural Communication: Global Perspectives) before participating. Courses in European history, politics, culture, and thought (such as Irish Literature) also provide excellent preparation.
