Summer and Semester Abroad Programs

Will there be a Semester Abroad programme in 2026/27 and 2027/28 academic years?

Our Semester Abroad Program for partnering US institutions will be running in Autumn / Spring semesters in 2026 / 27. The programme will remain unchanged and offer the same unique experience of studying in Ireland and immersing yourself in the Irish culture. 

Similarly, our Summer Abroad Irish Experience programme will run in 2026 and 2027 as per usual.  

In general, the majority of the modules normally scheduled will continue to be available for Semester Abroad students, subject to timetabling. Any changes to available modules will be communicated to the study abroad representative at your home institution.  

As per norm, timetabling will be finalised after you arrive for your studies.

Undergraduate Study - Non-EU

Can I still apply to Carlow College, St. Patrick’s for my undergraduate studies?
