Go Global Program of Interest to Indigenous Students
Dia Dhuit Ireland
Travel to the picturesque Ireland in the British Isles, inhabited by the Muintir na hÉireann or Irish people, who have lived on the Island they call Éire for well over 1000 years. Irish culture has influenced much of the food, traditions, and even language of Ireland and its surrounding nations. The Irish language (known as Gaeilge) is one of the oldest of the Celtic languages and has survived despite suffering linguistic discrimination. Ireland is a beautiful place to visit to see how other communities are preserving their language like First Nation Australians, as well as a great opportunity to meet other students and learn about Irish culture.
Grants and Scholarships are available to financially support your Go Global experiences, and you can talk to a Go Global Advisor to discuss your interests and future plans. Contact the Go Global team by submitting an enquiry or booking an individual advising session.
For more information about Go Global programs available in Ireland and how to apply, you can visit the Go Global Portal and check out the Semester Exchange options at:
- Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick
- or via AEN: First preference at University College Cork
