Description: The Dublin Internship Program offers a semester of study and work in one of Europes most cosmopolitan cities. Based at Dublin City University (DCU), the program combines a professional internship with coursework on various aspects of Irelands dynamic history and contemporary culture, including its art, economy, literature, media, and politics. Courses designed specifically for students in the Boston University program are taught by faculty drawn from Dublin-area universities and professional institutes. Upon successful completion of a semester, students earn 16 Boston University credits.

Health Science Track Option (fall only):
Students in all the health sciences, from pre-med, to public health, to PT/OT to nursing, are especially welcome in Dublin this fall. Students in this track will enroll in Ethics in Health Care during the core phase, and then participate in an internship in the field of health sciences.

Highlights: The First Six Weeks (Core Phase)
During the first part of the program, students take two required core courses: Contemporary Irish Society and The History of Ireland. Students in the Health Science Track replace the History of Ireland course with the Ethics in Health Care course. Students also meet with the program's internship advisors in order to be placed according to ability, professional goals, experience, work habits, and availability of local opportunities. The Health Sciences Track runs in the fall only.

The Final Eight Weeks (Internship Phase):
During the final eight weeks, students participate in internships with organizations in the greater Dublin area. Students work full-time, four days a week, while also enrolling in an elective course on modern Irish arts, literature or media.
