CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: We are happy to announce that due to progress in vaccinations globally, as well as advances in travel safety, we were able to successfully run the 2022 Global Ecologies Studio Summer School this year, in person and on campus, and anticipate being able to do so again in 2023.  However, in response to the changing situation related to the coronavirus pandemic and variants, should there be any restrictions which would prevent students from travelling to Ireland prior to the start of the program, we areable to extend our refund policy to be able to give full refunds up to two weeks before the start of the Summer School.

Should you have any questions, please contact Lisa Newman at lisa@burrencollege.ie or +353 65 7077200.
