You must first pick which Ireland study visa you should apply for before you decide to study in Ireland. There are two categories of student visas for Ireland:
You’ll need to apply for a ‘C study visa’ if you plan on studying in Ireland for fewer than three months. The short-stay C visa is usually a training visa that allows you to come to Ireland for a duration of 90 days to participate in a work or professional development training program. While on this training visa, you are not allowed to work.
You will need to apply for a ‘D study visa’ if your course is longer than three months.
A foreign student normally applies to a D study visa while intending to remain in Ireland for more than three months.
The tuition fees vary between chosen field of study, university and program. Furthermore, there is a big difference in the tuition fees for European and non-European students. Students from outside the EU and EEA can expect to pay around €9,000 per year as a minimum, with some courses can cost up to €30,000 per year.
Irish universities and colleges offer two major intakes. Intakes may also be referred to as a semester in some universities.
Intake 1: Fall Semester – A popular intake that starts in the month of September
Intake 2: Spring Semester starts in the month of January
Students must be over 18 years of age.
Non-EEA students with Stamp 2 permission to remain are allowed to take up casual employment. They can work up to 20 hours a week during term time and up to 40 hours a week in the holidays
Non-EU/EEA postgraduate students who are working on producing their dissertations beyond their examinations are not entitled to work for more than 20 hours part-time per week during the college’s summer break as they are still regarded by the GNIB as being in full-time study
