In the words of Saint Augustine, “The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page”. Overseas study is a powerful motivator and can offer many inspirational experiences to help students in their academic, personal and career goals.
Our Study Abroad Semester Programmes allow you to visit a host university for one or two semesters while you benefit from learning and living with local students. We offer a range of courses and majors and you will gain first-hand experience of different learning styles.
By working with some of the best universities of Higher Education in Europe and the South Pacific, our semester programmes provide a highly memorable and character-building experience. We organise in-country support, cultural immersion and depending on the location, housing in student accommodation or with a homestay family.
We believe that not all classrooms have walls and you will develop cultural awareness as a global citizen with plenty of access to local life, field trips and cultural excursions.
Our locations include:
- lreland
- Spain
- United Kingdom
- Australia
- New Zealand
What will I learn?
We can offer students a wide choice of courses by working in close partnership with international host institutions.
At each university, your options will span many faculties. From business and marine biology to literature or engineering, we have the ability to find the perfect course for you.
Students need their course choices approved by their home academic advisor to gain approval from their host institution.
Our global community of host institutions include universities in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Spain and Ireland. Where will your Study Abroad Semester take you?
What support is there for me?
Our Study Abroad Semester Programmes are expertly designed with your needs at the top of the agenda. Each carefully-structured programme offers high levels of support to create a safe, welcoming and secure learning environment.
We will organise an airport transfer so your journey is stress-free and upon arrival at the host institution, you will be welcomed, given a site tour and receive a welcome pack during orientation.
From offering guidance about visas and the application procedure, to sharing first-hand local knowledge, our dedicated staff are always on-hand to assist students. We provide excellent academic support and offer a 24/7 emergency helpline to ensure the wellbeing of each student.

Where Will I Live?
Students are based in safe, comfortable living spaces that are within easy-reach of campus. Typically, student accommodation is either on or off-campus in single or twin rooms with ensuite or communal bathroom facilities. Sharing with local students or with other study abroad students, you will have access to WiFi and laundry services.
Depending on your choice of university, homestay accommodation may be an option. All our homestay families are rigorously vetted and we take extreme care when placing students.
Students complete a comprehensive questionnaire prior to placement where they can outline their ideal host family. Our experienced team is easily reachable for the duration of your stay.

Excursions and Cultural Programme
We believe that learning outside of the classroom is essential and students are encouraged to experience all their host country has to offer.
Our industry and educational visits are chosen to complement your learning goals. We offer organised excursions to sites of cultural interest, areas of outstanding natural beauty, organisations, educational institutions and local businesses.*
*Excursions will vary depending on university and location.
"Studying abroad in Dublin has been a once in a lifetime thing. There are always the ideas that come from dreams as to what will be, but what we can not dream is the experiences that are to come. No one can predict the friends made along the way, the shock at difference in cultures, or even the beauty of the country side. The experience of actually submerging yourself into something and somewhere entirely new opens the mind to view the world in a way that had never previously been possible, and being able to study while doing this makes it all the better. I won’t lie, in the beginning I had a lot of anxieties and worries surrounding the idea of actually studying abroad, but at this point I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made."
