English Language Institutions

Dublin is a very popular place to learn English. The locals – who are clearly biased but not necessarily wrong – believe that they speak English better than anyone else does (including the English). Every type of course is on offer and many college options are available: it’s a good idea to spend some time working out which one is best for you.

Long-established and internationally affiliated schools include Berlitz and Kaplan.

Highly reputable third-level (tertiary) educational institutes that offer English language teaching as one of their many other courses include IBAT, DCU, TCD and UCD.

Most universities also offer ‘pre-sessional’ English language programmes designed to enable allow international students to improve their English for entry to degree courses. Maynooth’s is an example.
