Interns work full-time in a wide variety of agencies in Dublin. Living and working in Dublin enables students to be immersed in the rich cultural life of the capital of the Republic of Ireland. Multiple opportunities for intern placements are available in governmental or private organizations.
Interns live in flats or with Irish families.
Participants take classes on modern Irish History, Irish Literature, and Irish Society and Politics two days each week at the Institute of Public Administration. Courses are taught by faculty from Trinity College, University College Dublin, and the Institute of Public Administration. Interns have access to the library and facilities of the Institute. Students take an excursion to Belfast to learn more about Northern politics and the peace process. Housing is with Irish families where students take breakfast and dinners.
