Program Overview

A thorough preparation for rewarding work with children!

Jump into acclaimed programs geared to help you excel in education or special education at a school that draws students from near and far. Learn with the guidance of a dedicated tutor as you explore classes in early childhood, primary education, post-primary education, or health, sport, and physical activity. Gain valuable hands-on experience with a practicum.

The wooded campus is near Queens University in the heart of lively Belfast, giving you easy access to the city and treasures like the Ulster Museum, the Botanic Gardens, and the Lyric Theatre. There’s more to explore beyond the city. That’s why we complete your program with IFSA excursions (included, no extra cost) to places like the stunning West Coast and Kilkenny, the ideal place to sample artisan foods and try your hand hurling, a unique Gaelic sport.
