Destination

Across the country

Ireland, called "Éire" in the national language, is a true land of wonders. Known as the Emerald Isle, Ireland is the green island of Western Europe. Due to its picturesque cliffs and coastal landscapes, Ireland is a favorite location for the movie industry. Through several popular movies and series, the island has attracted millions of tourists with its lowlands, hills, beaches, cliffs, and moors. Magic can truly be felt everywhere on the island. The land of leprechauns and fairies also offers castles and palaces that tell the rich history of the country. If you visit Ireland, definitely don't miss the amazing atmosphere of Irish festivals and pubs, with the sounds of old folk songs playing wherever you go! Two languages coexist on the Emerald Isle: English and Irish, both equally important. In addition to the unmistakable Irish accent, which sounds a little different depending on the region, Irish is often taught in schools.

Highlight: Transition Year

During the transition year, the focus is on gaining practical experience. But don't worry, theory will not be neglected.
