The UCD High School Summer Program returns for 2023 and applications are now open! The UCD High School Summer Program is an enrichment program designed specifically for North American students who are interested in learning more about Irish history and culture and may be considering the possibility of applying to universities in Ireland for their undergraduate degrees. Through a series of taught lectures and interactive workshops at UCD, we introduce students to the academic culture in Ireland and the variety of subjects they can study. We also introduce students to Ireland's rich history and cultural identity through field trips around Dublin and the Irish countryside. At the end of the two weeks, we hope the students will have found that the academic programs and vibrant cultural heritage will be a great fit for future studies.
To be eligible for this program, students must:
Be current juniors or sophomores (16 or 17 at the time of program)
Demonstrate a minimum 3.0 GPA.
Google application form, including two brief essays about their interest in the program and what would make them a good candidate for the program.
Counselor recommendation (Kendall Hook will send counselors direct link to Google recommendation form)
Dates: July 6th-21st, 2023
Cost: €3000 (inclusive of accommodation, meals, cultural and academic activities, workshops, in-country transportation. Excluding airfare and personal spending money.)
Priority deadline for applications is February 15. Juniors will receive priority consideration for places on the program. The 2022 program reached capacity by February 15 and operated on a waitlist, however, should availability remain, applications will be open until April 1. This program is non-credit bearing.
