Dublin, Ireland

As Ireland’s cosmopolitan capital and one of Europe’s truly great cultural centers, Dublin is a dynamic city with a population of over one million. Its famously successful, robust economy is a case study in how a country can go from rags to riches. Hearing how this has affected its people is only one interesting aspect of studying in Dublin.

Dublin is a thriving, invigorating place, a manageable city that can easily be covered on foot down its quirky, cobblestone streets. It exudes its ancient history while offering every modern convenience, including great restaurants, shopping and, of course, live music and pubs. In other words, Dublin is hip!

“Éire,” or Ireland, is legendary for its history, literature and culture, its beautifully lush and sweeping countryside, and the hospitality of its people. Located just west of Great Britain and a mere stone’s throw from mainland Europe, its small size and close proximity to other European countries make studying abroad at DBS truly unique.

Half of Ireland’s population is under the age of 26, so the energy is undeniable. From the charming, modern, urban electricity of Dublin to the scenic wonders and historical relics of its surrounding areas, Ireland is an amazing place to study abroad. And yes, they speak English there too!
