The final semester here in Dublin has officially come to a close! Thank you to our amazing students this semester, you guys truly helped make this final one so amazing. We hope you all enjoyed learning how special this program is, and that you cherish all the memories you made here! While we are coming to a close, we are going out with a bang.

A huge thank you to all our alumni, who regularly make time to share their time and their insights with current students!

Today the Dublin students visited the lovely Howth for a ferry tour around Ireland's Eye! It was a gorgeous afternoon on the water and it was an amazing final event!🛥️🦆

The Montreal Campus held a closing celebration event this past week and it was a great success!

Friends and alumni: free to come visit the Montreal campus before its closure on the 30th of May)!

Last weekend the students had a great time in the west! We spent Saturday exploring Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, where we saw a what villages in Ireland looked like hundreds of years ago. Then on Sunday, we had a beautifully sunny day on Inis Oirr!🏰☀️

Thank you to the amazing Kieran and Tony Doyle Coaches for 17 years of keeping our students safe on the road! We are so grateful for all you guys do!

To wrap up this week, we had a fun night of bowling and games at Lane7! It was a great night full of laughs!🎳

The Dublin students have been having a great (but very rainy) time out west! Thursday evening, the students gathered for a night of coloring and snacks before getting ready to head to Galway Friday.

On our way to Galway we stopped at the Poulnabrone Dolmen! This site dates back to around 3800-3200 BC, and it's the highest point of The Burren Geopark. After visiting Galway, we visited the Cliffs of Moher!

Tomorrow we are headed to Inisheer(Inis Oirr) for day of exploring on the Aran Islands.

The Dublin students had an amazing dinner on Thursday night at ! There was amazing food, great chats reflecting on the semester, and, of course, a ton of chocolate Easter eggs!

Thank you to the amazing staff at O’Shea’s for hosting us! We had an amazing time!

What does it take to build a AAA game? Champlain students went straight to the source! 👀

Montréal got a behind-the-scenes look inside , and let’s just say after visiting, these students are ready to take on the industry! 🎮

Yesterday, the Dublin students had an amazing time touring where they learned about earning masters programs abroad! 📚

Today we took the students out for a city centre market crawl! We visited local food, books, and craft markets, and had a lot of fun vintage shopping!🛍️🛒
