Individual placement interviews will be conducted by telephone approximately 3 months prior to the program start date. All internships are unpaid.
Dublin is the capital city of the Republic of Ireland and home to the youngest population in Europe. More than a third of all Irish residents live in or near Dublin, which explains the great restaurants, bars, and shopping opportunities. It is an energetic, fun, and friendly city with a rich literary and cultural heritage - something for everyone.
