You must be in good academic standing and not on disciplinary probation. You need to submit a complete application including a transcript, letter of recommendation, and an advisor's form before your application will be considered.

Highlights: An Arcadia program isn't just about enrolling you in an overseas institution, however. It's about all of the services that we provide. We encourage you to contact your program manager for advice on the application process, choosing courses, or simply what you should pack. Once you arrive in Ireland, our resident director will lead an orientation program in Dublin that will introduce you to the culture, history and politics of Ireland as well as preparing you for the academic challenges of studying in a different educational system.

During the semester, you can expect to participate in excursions that are designed to allow you to reflect on the learning that is taking place outside the classroom and help you find ways to make the most of your time abroad.

If you have a deep fascination of all things Irish, UCC offers several 4-week, pre-semester programs that allow you to settle in before the start of the fall semester and earn 4 additional credits. The programs center on themes in Irish archaeology, modern Irish politics and history, Irish literature and Irish ecosystems.

During your studies at UCC, you'll become a fully enrolled member of the student body and have the opportunity to experience Irish higher education and student life first-hand.
