Excursions & Activities

Arcadia includes many fun and exciting excursions, events and activities - many of which are free and included in your program such as the Éalú (Escape in the Irish language) community weekend in the west of Ireland with all Arcadia Abroad Ireland Students! You also have a range of optional excursions and events to join such as a day trip to Belfast, touring the Aran Islands and visiting a working Irish farm! From museums, tombs and castles to surfing, Irish dancing and traditional baking, there is something for everyone!

Our semester programmes also include an exciting Regional Excursion where we bring together students from our England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland programs on a weekend trip to a host location! In addition, the Summer Arcadia-taught programs in Ireland have free course excursions - faculty-led opportunities to learn coursework outside the classroom.

All Arcadia excursions are designed to be fun, interactive learning opportunities where you can visit places of exceptional interest in the country and enjoy experiences that help to illuminate your studies. You could also earn a Co-curricular Learning Certificate (CLC).
