About the country

About Ireland

Ireland, on the Atlantic edge of western Europe, is known for its green countryside, dramatic cliffs and historic towns. Irish and English are both official languages, but English is the main language of everyday life. Live music, literature and a strong storytelling tradition are an important part of Irish culture, creating an environment where there is always a conversation to join for a language student.

Alongside General English and exam preparation, Business English and activity-based programmes are popular in Ireland. Dublin offers lively city life, while Cork and Limerick offer a university-city feel for those looking for a calmer pace. Bray, a seaside town a short train ride from Dublin, is an option for students who would like to study by the sea, away from the bustle of the capital.

  • Schools in student-friendly cities such as Dublin, Cork and Limerick
  • An EU member state where English is the everyday language
  • A strong tech and business scene; the European base of many global companies
Why this country

Why Ireland?

An English-speaking island in the EU: friendly cities and established language schools.

  • English-speaking life in the EU

    In Ireland, an EU member, English is the language of daily life, so you naturally keep practising after class in cafés, on buses and at school activities.

  • Easy cities to settle into

    Dublin's centre is small enough to explore on foot, while Cork and Limerick, with their calmer pace, make it easier to adapt and build a circle of friends.

  • Atlantic coast and green nature

    Weekend trips to sea cliffs, coastal roads and green countryside provide a welcome balance to a busy study schedule and help you get to know the country.

Student life

In Dublin, buses, the Luas tram and the DART suburban railway make getting around easy. Live music, literary venues and traditional Irish sports are part of everyday culture, and in smaller cities you can quickly become part of local life.
