Our 2026 Summer Interns!

Those 8 weeks flew by! Not only did they have an incredible professional working experience in many different industries such as video production, finance, governance, sports marketing, social media, and politics, we give the students a chance to have a great cultural experiences around Ireland.

We visited Galway city and the biked around Aran Islands, took in a performance of Riverdance, got to see a Gaelic football game, visit to a working farm were they get to learn about agricultural, meet the animals and jump in a bog. Can't forget about the Merry Ploughboy right at the start of their adventure.

We hope each and everyone enjoyed their time here in Dublin and we look forward to always welcoming them back.

Our Summer Sports students are just back from a very active, fun, week in County Galway, in the west of Ireland.
From completing a bog challenge, jumping into the Atlantic Sea, exploring the Aran Islands and kayaking, who cares if the weather was a bit grey?! They're having a proper Irish summer.

Just our 2026 Summer students hanging out with some of Ireland's most iconic locals.
Safe to say, they've made some big friends this Summer 💚🐺

Huge thank to our friend Wayne at for giving a fantastic presentation here at BCI to kick off our Summer.

LPI 2026 was, once again, a great time had by all.

From dancing at The Merry Ploughboy, seeing different animals and jumping in a bog at Causey Farm, learning how to play GAA sports like hurling and jumping into the Atlantic Sea of the coast of Connemara in Galway.

The weather wasn't great, but didn't put a damper on the amazing experiences at all!

How the time has flown. I can't believe this semester students are nearly at the end of their time here in Dublin.

We had a great time exploring the Aran Islands, Galway city, singing and dancing at the Merry Ploughboy and finishing the semester with a trivia night!

I hope you all come back to BCI to visit in the future. Sláinte

Happy St Patrick's Day.

Happy Study Abroad Day 🌎
Study abroad is about way more than lectures and assignments. As seen here, it's about exploring new places, meeting new people, and seeing the world from a different perspective. And we feel so lucky to share Ireland with students from BC.

Here's to new friendships, new experiences, and stepping outside your comfort zone.

We always love to meet some of our partners here at BCI. This week, our current Law students hosted their supervisors and colleagues from their respective internships at a Pancake Breakfast.

Lá Fhéile Vailintín shona gach duine.
Happy Valentines Day everyone! 🩷

Celebrating love, friendship, and the incredible community that makes Boston College Ireland feel like home.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re inspired by the legacy of Saint Valentine, whose relics rest here in Dublin at Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church, a special reminder that love has deep roots in our city.

Grá Mór.
