Description

The Dublin Internship program combines coursework at Dublin City University (DCU) with professional work experience in or near Dublin.

During the first part of the program, students take two required core courses, while also starting the elective that runs the length of the 15-week program. 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 appointments.

In the final seven weeks, students enroll in a 4-credit internship placement, working in an organization in or around Dublin. Students work full-time, four days per week, while also continuing the elective course. Placements are contingent upon the student's past experiences, professional interest, and available opportunities in any given semester; flexibility is essential.

Students in all the health sciences, from pre-med, to public health, to PT/OT to nursing, are especially welcome in Dublin each fall. During the core phase, students in this track will take Ethics in Health Care and Contemporary Irish Society, while also starting Health Care Policy and Practice in Ireland, which runs the length of the 15-week program. During the internship phase, students will participate in an internship in the field of health sciences, while also completing the Health Care Policy and Practice in Ireland course.
