Kaplan International - Academic Year Abroad

Dublin is often named Europe’s most welcoming city — a place where you’ll feel right at home from day one. Once you become a Dubliner, you’re always a Dubliner, and you’ll never want to leave! This makes it a great choice for a programme of six months to a year, so you fully integrate with this friendly community. Our partner school sits in the heart of Dublin’s famous Temple Bar district, putting you steps away from the best of Irish culture — from traditional music pubs to modern cafés and historic sights. With 10 bright classrooms, a multimedia lab, and a well-stocked library, you’ll have all the tools you need to succeed. When you’re ready for a break, relax in the student lounge or connect with classmates from all over the world.

Host family

The Irish are well-known for their hospitality, and staying with a host family as you study English in Dublin gives you the ideal opportunity to get to know them better! Your host will help you to find your way to school and find your feet, and you’ll enjoy meals together in the evening, giving you the chance to improve your English while learning more about the culture. Your host will usually be between 45 and 60 minutes on average from the school by bus (maximum travel time 60 minutes), and you’ll have half board, towels, linen and laundry (once a week) provided.
