Choose Tourism & Marketing, American Football or a Bespoke Programme. Whichever path you choose, you’ll be part of the same Europe Gap Year community.
You’ll live, socialise, travel and take part in activities together, while following your chosen programme during scheduled educational sessions.
You might spend the morning on a film shoot, while a friend takes part in an American Football session. Later, you’re back together—cooking dinner at the apartment, heading to the beach, exploring Belfast or planning the weekend.
Explore our programmes:
Explore Northern Ireland while learning how photography, video, social media and storytelling are used to promote destinations.
For high school footballers and students of all genders interested in sport, coaching, sports marketing and communications.
Have a particular interest you want to explore? We’ll develop a structured educational programme around it, combining specialist learning, practical experiences and opportunities to explore Northern Ireland.
We know how important a gap year can be, and we think the environment you’re in has a lot to do with it.
Good people, interesting places, great food, live music, new experiences, local characters, different cultures and those unexpected moments that happen when you’re somewhere new — these are the things we love about life, so we’ve woven them throughout the Europe Gap Year experience.
That’s why you’re based in a real town like Portrush, why we introduce you to people we know, why we travel across Ireland and Scotland, and why we give you the freedom to go off and discover places with your friends.
There’s structure and support when you need it, but plenty of room to make the experience your own.
Quite simply, we’ve designed the gap year programme we’d want to do ourselves.
