The Irish Writing Program is a rigorous and exciting creative writing study abroad program in Dublin, Ireland, designed to help aspiring writers become better at their craft.
Learn about the course content, excursions, scholarships, and the application process at one of four upcoming information sessions.

Since its inception, 441 students have participated in this six-week summer program.
“I think the Irish Writing Program has remained popular for so long because of the combination of its excellent faculty, committed students, and ideal location,” said Cory Petersen, UI Study Abroad senior advisor and program coordinator. “The faculty collaborate with talented local writers to bring Ireland’s literary history to life, providing students with an environment that inspires their creativity in a way that is difficult to match anywhere else in the world.”
