Take in true Irish history as you tour the ancient castles and cathedrals of the country that date back to 6,000BC! With courses ranging from business to sciences, Irish studies to communication, Dublin City University and the University of Limerick will allow you to earn credit for your major back home.

Overall, Ireland is a safe country. Friendly people, small cities, and abhorrence for violence make this a worry-free study abroad destination. Many remember the sometimes violent political and social problems (referred to as the Troubles) in Ireland. However, rest assured that dramatic steps have been taken by the divided political parties to secure peace in Northern Ireland. In Ireland there are not any general health risks beyond those found in the US. While health insurance coverage is not required for visitors by the Irish government, CIS includes a comprehensive medical and accident insurance plan with all of our programs.
