Athena Study Abroad's Dublin program study schedule is listed below. To help you understand the terminology better, let's first familiarize you with common terms used at Griffith College Dublin:

• module - this refers to what US students call a "course" or "class"
• course - this refers to what US students call a full degree program

As a participant in Athena's Dublin program, you are required to successfully complete at least 4 modules (each module is worth 3 U.S. credits).  When completing your registration form, you will sign up for 8 modules (in order of preference) to ensure you are prepared with alternates if a module is cancelled or full. Please be sure to get all of your module selections approved by your home school (including alternates) to ensure ease of transfer once you return from your study abroad experience.

* Modules are subject to availability and final enrollment numbers. 
** Pre-Requisites: you must meet any and all prerequisite requirements for any module in which you wish to enroll.

All students must be prepared to have a total of 8 courses (or modules, as they are called at Griffith College Dublin) approved by their academic advisor, in case of changes in course/module availability. Griffith College will not process your registration unless you list a total of 8 modules.

If your school requires a transcript from Athena's school of record, rather than a transcript directly from the overseas school, please contact Athena Study Abroad at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
