Italian Department, University College Cork

Join our fully-finded Italian Summer Language Camp 2026 at University College Cork! From 15 to 26 June, post-primary students in Ireland (2nd to 5th year) who are complete beginners can spend two exciting weeks learning Italian through games, creative projects, outdoor activities, and cultural experiences. Students will discover Italian food, cities, art, music, cinema, fashion, and festivals while practicing real-life communication in Italian.

The camp is fully funded (a refundable €150 deposit applies), small groups ensure plenty of interaction, and no previous Italian is required.
