API: Experience Dublin, Ireland (Scholarships Available)

It is said that Ireland, once visited, is never forgotten. The Irish landscape has a mythic resonance, and the country’s history is almost tangible. In terms of Ireland’s landscape, the gentle rainfall, called “soft weather” by the locals, really creates 40 shades of green and quite a few rainbows, too. Ancient moss-covered ring forts crouch in lush valleys, while stone-strewn monastic ruins and lone castle turrets brave the wind on nearby hilltops. Many come to Ireland with high expectations of its romantic scenery, a blend of the raw and rugged with mist-covered verdancy, and seldom return home disillusioned. Dublin is arguably the most well-known Irish city, famous for its pubs and beautiful scenery. As a student in Dublin, you will have access to all aspects of Irish culture and community.

A Guide to Studying Computer Programming Abroad

Why Study Abroad

One of the biggest reasons STEM students don’t study abroad is because there is a false myth that they won’t be able to find programs that their home university will accredit. However, with more than 300,000 students studying outside the U.S. per year, more and more STEM subjects are becoming accredited abroad, one of the most prominent among them being computer programming. The only thing holding you back from studying computer programming abroad is deciding what country interests you; but, since it’s such an in-demand field, there are an incredible amount of places to choose from. 

Keep in mind that some of the world’s greatest demand for computer programmers might not be your home country! Take China, for instance; with a population of one billion and increasing numbers of smartphone users daily, it’s not a bad idea to learn software development, operating systems, program testing, debugging, and customization for the Chinese market.
