IGS gives you the opportunity to experience Ireland’s incredible history and magical landscapes in this internship program abroad. Placements are available in diverse fields, including hospitality, theater, business, and politics. On top of these, we’ll help time your arrival to avoid gloomy weather and make the most of your stay. Northern Ireland is an ideal destination in late spring to early fall. Nevertheless, the country has a mild climate and is suitable for travel all year round.
Ireland is popular among many international students mainly for its nightlife. But the country offers more than pubs and Guinness; it boasts some of the world’s most beautiful rugged landscapes. Learn about history and cultural heritage in attractions like the Killarney National Park and Muckross House, Kilmainham Gaol, and Glendalough. Experience theater productions as well to get a glimpse of Irish humor and a sense of history.

Capital of Dublin was designated a UNESCO City of Literature in 2010. Mr Adams and ms Mitchell placed me in a hotel and restaurant near the busy street of Dublin so day's always busy. but life there is peaceful and people are wonderful. not to mention they\re interesting too!!! i get to realize some stuff and did some self-reflection afterwards. nice experience. didn't know Ireland is a tourism giant, so many customers!
I had my theater internship in the capital city of Dublin. I got to work with co-actors from different continents and I also had a fellow intern with me. We share the same housing and we had a lot of joy and bonding times together. Thanks, Hannah. Thank you so much also to the Institute for Global Studies for setting this whole thing up. :)
I had my gap year in Ireland and it was an adventure. On weekends, we visited The Cliffs of Moher, Grafton Street, Killarney National Park and Muckross House & Gardens, and my absolute favorite --- The Ring of Kerry!!! My co-interns are lovely and fun! I'm happy I took this plunge. Not just a career move, but I seriously had a great time.
