About
Our Summer School dynamic course
is for everyone interested in Irish culture & heritage.
It is a total immersion in Ulster
and its dramatic past and also a creative
interaction with its moulding present.
It is a three
week educational and cultural experience.
When you arrive, we
will pick you up at the airport (and make sure to bring you
back).
You will be
entered as a study-exchange student on our
University roll. This will facilitate your access
to IT (word-processing,
Internet, etc.) and library services.
A special collection of books will be set aside for you to use in
the University library.
We will provide
stationery and other materials that would be
required at our seminars.
You will listen to
stimulating lectures by leading
experts in Irish
Literature, History, Creative
Arts, Media& Film
Studies, visit interesting
sites and places, such as the
Beech Hill Country House and
the Bogside Artists Studio in
Derry, Stormont in
Belfast, and Grianán
of Aileach in Donegal,
the Giant's
Causeway and Causeway Coast, Armagh and
the Navan
Fort,
and Enniskillen, including the
tour of the Upper and the Lower Lough Erne
You will take part in seminar discussions and
meet famous writers, critics and playwrights, and work with a tutor
personally assigned to you.
To get a grade and an
official transcript, you
will be expected
to work towards a completion of a certain project. Maybe, there is
already something you want to explore while you are here - in this
case it would not be difficult for you to complete the project at
our school.
Otherwise, you
will discuss a theme that will be discussed during
the course and would become of interest for you with your tutor and
he/she will recommend what to do. A list of themes and books that
go with them is recommended
@ Pre-assignments page.
We recommend that you have a certain
amount of money (300 pounds = 600 dollars
at a minimum) for evening meals, pubs, small
souvenirs and presents
to take home. But if you want to feel yourself
relaxed in
your choice of, say, Aran sweaters or Guinness T-shirts, you probably
need to double this amount.
We will pick
you up at the airport and will drop you off again,
We
will pay
for your admission to sites and visitor centres, meals and B&B
lodging while on the field trips, on-campus accommodation, breakfast
and lunch, access to lectures and special events, graduation and
gala dinner
And only the air travel to
the point of entry (i.e. any UK & R.O.I. airport), alcohol and evening
meals are not included.
The course will
commence at the most ultra-modern Belfast campus
of the University, bringing you later to the stylish Magee campus. Both
are excellent for exploring the two cities of Northern Ireland,
the beauty of the Fermanagh and
Donegal counties,
the spirit of mountains
and moors of mid-Ulster and the stunning Antrim
Coast, location of the Giant's
Causeway, the only Irish natural World Heritage Site.
We are looking forward to seeing you
here !
