Its well preserved historical sites and myriad of historical subject matter make it the perfect arena of learning for history and archeology students.

Ireland's first university opened its doors in 1592 but Ireland had a culture of learning that precedes even these ancient institutions. The monastic scholars of the 6th century were pioneers in the pursuit of knowledge and learning in Ireland long before that. Our small island nation now boasts no less than 7 universities, at least two of which feature regularly in the top 200 universities in the world.
