Your Destination
Guinness and emigrants were Dublin’s most notable exports for much of the last century, but over the last 30 years, rapid economic growth has turned Dublin into a magnet for people from around the world. Ireland’s open, globalized economy hosts the European headquarters of many multinational corporations; in finance, pharma, technology, and social media. Dublin is a great destination for a challenging and rewarding internship experience - with Ireland’s stunning rural landscapes and historic villages beginning at the edge of the city.
CIEE Dublin is located in Dublin City University´s All Hallows campus in the leafy suburb of Drumcondra, just one-mile north of Dublin City Center.
CIEE wants all our students to feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to succeed while studying abroad. Local CIEE staff have provided details about conditions and cultural attitudes that students with specific identities might encounter in Dublin.
