EU Work + Study Semester Programme

Many students want to improve their English while gaining valuable paid work experience in Ireland. Our EU English + Work Placement Semester Programme is designed to help you do both.

From the beginning of your programme, you’ll receive dedicated support from our Work Placement Team to prepare for employment and begin seeking suitable work opportunities. The programme combines English language tuition with comprehensive employability support, helping you build the skills and confidence needed to secure a paid role in Dublin’s service sector.

Students who successfully secure a placement can expect to earn at least the Irish National Minimum Wage, currently €14.15 per hour*.

City College Dublin (formerly City Language School) was the best choice to improve my English. If I could renew, I would definitely do it at City College Dublin (formerly City Language School). All the staff members were amazing. I really made friends there. I always recommend City College Dublin (formerly City Language School) to everyone.
