I was able to take courses in the marine biology and ecology of European coastal waters as well as marine vertebrate biology. I would not have been able to study there subjects at U of R, and the courses were unique not only because they were taught in English by Danish professors, but also because of the hands-on approach. We took many amazing trips in and around the North and Baltic Seas. Copenhagen was a gorgeous and safe city to study in with an exciting nightlife and even friendlier people to become acquainted with. My time spent in Ireland at UCD was one of the most intriguing experiences of my life.
All classes are lecture style and meet twice a week.
Each class lasts about 2 hours and there is rarely an homework or quizzes. Final exams are usually essay style and previous exams are available. The social aspects of Ireland is incredible. Temple Bar is a great strip for tourists, but I recommend meeting locals who know true Dublin pubs. Everyone was friendly and really knew how to have a good time.
