Dublin

Study in Dublin.

Dublin City University - Spring Semester

Live and learn in a sophisticated and international city on the cutting edge of innovations in architecture, design, film and music. During the “Celtic Tiger” economic boom of the early 1990s, Dublin, Ireland’s capital, drastically changed as its cultural scene and population became increasingly diverse. It has become an incubator for artistic and multimedia innovation, making it a great place to study and explore media and communication.

Dublin is a young and modern urban center with a large percentage of its residents under 30 years of age. Corporate giants Airbnb, eBay, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft and PayPal have placed their European headquarters here, earning the city the nickname, Europe’s ‘Silicon Valley’.

Fair Play: Corporate Social Responsibility + Sustainability in Dublin

Program details

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainability are now essential in global business, yet often misunderstood by new and seasoned practitioners alike. Communicators need to grasp CSR and Sustainability and craft messages that align with business goals and resonate with clients to be successful in the international market.

In Dublin, students will learn directly from experts about CSR and Sustainability within Irish business practices and EU regulations. Along the way, the class will also find time for cultural immersion in the beautiful country of Ireland through activities like museum visits, historical walks, and more!

Students will earn three credits in this Fall Early Term Start program, which is structured as follows:

Intensive course meetings in late August ahead of departure, including both synchronous and asynchronous work
Travel to Dublin, Ireland, before the official start of the Fall semester in late August for visit with professionals across industries in addition to cultural immersion activities
Students will create a final project that connects the course themes and their own professional goals

Studying in Dublin was such a special experience for me. I feel extremely lucky that I got to learn about the advertising industry at one of the top communications schools in Europe. Beyond that, I made lifetime connections with a wide variety of people from places all over the world that I will cherish forever.
