Ireland is one of the most popular study-abroad destinations in Europe. Its universities offer first-rate education in a traditional, yet modern setting. Thousands of study programs at over two dozen schools attract international students from around the world.

​

Located in the northwestern fringes of Europe, Ireland’s history is long and complicated. The first great tribes to establish themselves on this island were known as the Celts. The customs, myths, and languages of these peoples are still very important to modern day Irish citizens. While Irish Gaelic is still an official language and adorns, with English, every street and other official sign in public, it is spoken only by a minority, as everyone in Ireland today communicates in English.
