Ireland

Why take an EF Academic Year Abroad in Ireland?

  • Gain complete language and cultural fluency while living like a local. Experience Ireland’s rich history, traditions, and unforgettable cities.

  • Immerse yourself in English — from Ireland’s warm and welcoming communities to everyday local interactions — as you study for 2, 3, or 4 terms (approx. 6, 9, or 11 months). With intakes in September, November, January, April, and June, you can start when it suits you best.

  • Develop the language and academic skills you need to study or work in English anywhere in the world, grow your global network, and unlock new experiences in Ireland and beyond.
