The Irish Archaeology Field School has a long track record of working with Study Abroad Departments to develop and successfully deliver unique cultural heritage courses (for example in archaeology, history, Irish studies, anthropology, etc.). Our programs inspire learning in our unique outdoor classroom, which includes some of the foremost research projects in Ireland. While our programs are typically two to four weeks in duration, they can be structured to meet the individual demands of your institution. We also regularly work with a range of Study Abroad Departments to place individual student(s) on one of our many established programs or internships. Whether your preference is for a bespoke program or individual placements we would be delighted to discuss your requirements and design a tailor-made solution for you and your students.
