We are delighted to announce the IIHSA Greek Study Tour for 2022, following a two year gap during which we were unable to run the tour due to the pandemic.
The Institute has been organising study tours annually to Greece for third level students in Irish universities since 1998. The study tours are an important part of our activities and they offer an opportunity for students of Classics and Archaeology to visit Greece, allowing them to enhance their studies by visits to museums, sites and landscapes. Some of our partner Universities incorporate the study tour into their curriculum as a credit bearing learning activity.

For further details and an application form please contact your Department (e.g. NUI Maynooth Classics; NUI Galway Classics; QUB Archaeology; TCD Classics; UCD Classics; UCD Archaeology) or contact the IIHSA office at irishinstitutegr@gmail.com
