Western Europe Semester programme
Mary Immaculate College is a partner location with fellow Catholic institution, St John’s University, New York, on St John's signature Western Europe Semester and Western Europe: Business programmes.
Both programmes allow St John’s students to study in three unique European cities over the course of one semester: Limerick; Paris and Rome. Students complete course requirements while engaging with these historic cities through field trips, site visits, academic service-learning and independent exploration. Running successfully since January 2018, the programmes focus on the theme of contemporary issues of migration. Students spend five weeks at Mary Immaculate College studying the Art & Architecture of Ireland, Economics, Ethics of Community Engagement, Metaphysics and Christian Spirituality, before going on to spend five weeks in each of the other two cities. Mary Immaculate College has the pleasure of hosting approximately 300 students per year
The International Office arranges frequent curricular and co-curricular excursions for the students to various sites in Limerick and its surrounding area, as well as other cultural sites in Ireland.
English Language
The MIC Department of English Language and Literature offers high quality English language programmes that support non-native English speakers, both academically and culturally, with programmes tailored to suit specific purpose classes.
Programme Details
Studying at MIC is an honour and very rewarding for me. The campus is very good. The teachers are very attentive; they call you by name and you feel very welcome all the time. At MIC you feel at home. The teachers join in with study and fun, making learning a new language easier.
