Summer in Ulster (Northern Ireland)
Summer in Ulster (Northern Ireland)! Welcome! Summer School in University of Ulster: 28 June - 17 July 2010
Our Summer School dynamic course is for everyone interested in Irish culture & heritage.
It is a total immersion in Ulster and its dramatic past and also a creative interaction with its moulding present.
It is a three week educational and cultural experience.
When you arrive, we will pick you up at the airport (and make sure to bring you back).
You will be entered as a study-exchange student on our University roll. This will facilitate your access to IT (word-processing, Internet, etc.) and library services. A special collection of books will be set aside for you to use in the University library.
We will provide stationery and other materials that would be required at our seminars.
You will listen to stimulating lectures by leading experts in Irish Literature, History, Creative Arts, Media& Film Studies, visit interesting sites and places, such as the Beech Hill Country House and the Bogside Artists Studio in Derry, Stormont in Belfast, and Grianán of Aileach in Donegal, the Giant's Causeway and Causeway Coast, Armagh and the Navan Fort, and Enniskillen, including the tour of the Upper and the Lower Lough Erne
You will take part in seminar discussions and meet famous writers, critics and playwrights, and work with a tutor personally assigned to you.
To get a grade and an official transcript, you will be expected to work towards a completion of a certain project. Maybe, there is already something you want to explore while you are here - in this case it would not be difficult for you to complete the project at our school.
We will pick you up at the airport and will drop you off again,
We will pay for your admission to sites and visitor centres, meals and B&B lodging while on the field trips, on-campus accommodation, breakfast and lunch, access to lectures and special events, graduation and gala dinner
And only the air travel to the point of entry (i.e. any UK & R.O.I. airport), alcohol and evening meals are not included.
The course will commence at the most ultra-modern Belfast campus of the University, bringing you later to the stylish Magee campus. Both are excellent for exploring the two cities of Northern Ireland, the beauty of the Fermanagh and Donegal counties, the spirit of mountains and moors of mid-Ulster and the stunning Antrim Coast, location of the Giant's Causeway, the only Irish natural World Heritage Site.
