Please review the CGPS COVID-19 Updates page before applying to a study abroad program.

All applicants must have a valid passport by the program’s application deadline. Your passport’s expiration date must be more than six months after the program ends. If you do not have a current passport, apply through the U.S. State Department. It takes an average of 8-11 weeks (2-3 months) to process a passport.

The University will continue to monitor the ongoing situation with COVID-19 (coronavirus) as we approach the departure date for this program. Please reach out to your program coordinator or faculty director with questions and continue to monitor the UD coronavirus webpage for updates.

If UD decides to cancel a study abroad program, we will communicate directly with affected students. In this case, the University of Delaware will reimburse the cost of program fees and tuition.

Traveling and studying abroad during a global pandemic poses new challenges and requires accepting a higher level of uncertainty than in the past. Students who choose to study abroad at this time must be prepared to adapt to the evolving situation and must take responsibility to act in accordance with the rules, regulations, and recommendations of UD, their program leadership, and legal authorities of their home and host country. Due to the rapidly changing and unpredictable global and local response to COVID-19, these rules, regulations and recommendations are subject to change at any time.
Program Description
Come to Ireland and experience the history, architecture, literature, music and culture of Ireland and the Irish. Courses in History and Political Science will allow students to learn about the modern history of Ireland while visiting churches, museums, parks and homes in and around Dublin and a weekly film and novel will provide insights into the culture and urban geography of the city. There will an overnight trip to Waterford as well as a multiple day excursion to Kilkenny and several days in Galway in the final week. Learn a lot, see a lot, have unforgettable experiences.

Students will spend their time in Dublin at Trinity College Dublin, each with their own room and sharing a bathroom with one other person. There is a lounge for every four students with cooking facilities. The final weeks on the road will find students sharing a room in hotels with breakfast provided each morning. Spectacular welcome and farewell meals will also be provided.

The Program Fee covers housing, all program-related excursions and admission fees, welcome and closing dinner, and international medical insurance.

The Program Fee does NOT include airfare or ground transportation to meet the group in Dublin.
