Two hundred high achieving Emirati students aged 16 and 17 have embarked on a five-week trip to Ireland to attend a language programme run by Intelligent Partners and Tourism Ireland.

The group, which was specially selected by the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC), will be split into two; 100 students will be spending their time in Cork, while the other 100 discover Dublin.
The programme will also offer one full day excursion a week, off campus activities twice per week, and visits to the mosque on Fridays.
