The Ireland Program will be in person in 2023. Contact Professor Michael W. Martin for more information at mwmartin@fordham.edu.

Study international law and conflict resolution in two of Europe’s most exciting cities: Belfast and Dublin. With our Belfast/Dublin program, you will do more than learn about the complexities of international law and conflict resolution. You will experience its effects firsthand and understand more profoundly its impact on two unforgettable cities.
