Academics

Your EUSA academic program in Dublin is determined by your home university – in some cases this may mean independent research, or compiling a journal and portfolio of work to support your internship experience, along with small seminars designed to help you understand the culture or industry in which you are working.  Other programs may have full semester courses with a workload equivalent to your home campus – these may be taught by faculty from your own college or by local faculty. Most of the local faculty members are accustomed to working with American students, but will still bring a more Irish style of teaching.  Because European students tend to specialize in one subject very early in the college careers, typically this means that you are expected to take the initiative in learning and go beyond the required texts to develop a deeper understanding of the subject.
