SocioCultural Events

We believe that all courses should be complemented with an extensive social and cultural extra-curricular programme, allowing learners to experience Irish life and culture and to get to know other learners from the College, thus giving learners the opportunity to be the part of an active, dynamic community.

Whatever your interests or lifestyle, there will be an appropriate and enjoyable activity for you.
