Description

The Language Centre at University College Dublin runs a language camp for students studying English. It is the largest internationally accredited and academically advanced university in Ireland. The university is renowned for its strong liberal arts and sciences programmes. The main campus is in Belfield, a southern suburb of Dublin. The university has large grounds with green areas and a garden. There is a twenty-minute bus ride to Dublin city centre and the airport.

A hot lunch is served after class and creative workshops are held in the lounge and grounds. If you have students interested in journalism or management they will love the extra workshops. In these workshops, they will write their first article, write a podcast or write a business plan. There is an Olympic swimming pool, dance hall, tennis courts, rugby and volleyball courts. Coffee shops and shops are available. Dublin Excursions offers a programme of excursions during the week, including visits to Dublin Castle, the National History Museum, Trinity College, the National Gallery and a stroll through the city's main streets and gardens. Weekends are spent in the fishing village of Howth, Ireland's cleanest city, Brae and Belfast. In the evenings they'll take part in quizzes, games, talent shows, sing along to karaoke and enjoy the views of the pond and green fields.

Children are accommodated in a residence on campus. The room has a bed, table and cupboard and the facilities are shared. The maid and linen are cleaned and changed once a week. Meals are provided three times a day and lunch packs are provided at the weekend.
