01 — Who we are

Rooted in Donegal. Working across Europe.

After 26 years in Derry, Foyle International wanted to go further south. In 2016 we set up Foyle Internship Europe in Buncrana, Co. Donegal, with a focus all of its own: Ireland and its culture.

Every mobility, placement and course we run is built around Irish life, from the Inishowen coast on our doorstep to the towns and cities where our learners live and work.

Today we run vocational, language and adult education courses in Donegal, in Dublin, and wherever our clients are in Ireland.

Where we began · Derry, since 1990 Foyle International English school in Derry. Summer schools, homestays and the Teacher Development Course.
Heading south · Donegal, since 2016 Foyle Internship Europe Irish culture at the heart of every mobility, internship and course we run.
