Social Activities Calendar

Meet your fellow students from different nationalities and update them on what you did in the last week, and what you plan to do socially in the coming weekend.

This is an excellent opportunity to practice your English language and social skills among your peers and with a native English speaker.

Grab yourself a cup of coffee and come on down to the Chat Club!

The National Gallery of Ireland boasts some 2,500 paintings and approximately 10,000 other works in different media including watercolours, drawings, prints and sculptures. Every major European school of painting is extensively represented here and it also houses a renowned collection of Irish paintings.

It is located in the heart of Dublin, a short stroll from Trinity College and Merrion Square. After marvelling at the amazing works that the gallery has to offer, take a walk over to Merrion Square Park, one of the finest and most intact examples of Georgian urban design in Dublin city. This attractive central park features colourful flowers, statues and shrub beds and is the ideal place to rest and enjoy a bit of tranquillity after a long day of exploring Dublin. Make sure to look out for the statue of Oscar Wilde reclining on the rock while the festive Christmas lights shine down from above!

Arty, bohemian Galway is one of Ireland’s most engaging cities. Brightly painted pubs heave with live music, while restaurants and cafes offer front-row seats for observing buskers and street theatre. Remains of the medieval town walls lie between shops selling handcrafted Claddagh rings, books, and musical instruments and a long promenade leads to the seaside suburb of Salthill, on Galway Bay, the source of the area’s famous oysters.  This trip is not to be missed!
