Young Adult Programme

Improve your English, discover Dublin and connect with international students through a summer programme designed for young adults aged 16–19.

About This Course

Our Young Adult Programme combines our Intensive language course with an interesting activity programme with the theme of “Discovering Dublin”. It is designed for students aged 16-19 years who wish to spend their time in Ireland with other international teenagers of a similar age group.

This course aims to develop students’ language skills in an environment which also encourages them to participate as active citizens in contemporary society at local, national and global levels, based on an understanding of human rights and social responsibilities. Lesson content includes Leadership & Development, English for the Workplace and Irish Life & Culture.

Students of this programme are given the opportunity to explore the city at their own pace during their free mornings or afternoons. Our activity programme provides a varied selection of guided cultural tours, where students can interact with other young language learners from all different backgrounds and cultures.
