Study English in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland is the smallest of the UK's four countries, across the sea from the rest of the UK and bordering the Republic of Ireland to the south.

If you study English in Northern Ireland, you'll live in a friendly city and take day trips to visit local landmarks including the famous Giant's Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage site. 

Did you know, many scenes from the TV series Game of Thrones were filmed in Northern Ireland?
