International Students at Independent College Dublin.
Education in Ireland
The College welcomes applications from international students who would like to study in Ireland. We have a huge amount of experience in helping international students and every year we welcome an increasing number of students from all over the world. We have an extensive array of programmes in Business, Law, Finance, Marketing, Journalism, Tourism, Arts & Psychotherapy to choose from and we are continuously expanding our list of academic programmes to ensure we are at the cutting edge of international education.
An International applicant is one who:
- is not permanently resident in one of the member-states of the European Union, and
- has not received full-time second-level education for three of the five years immediately before the date of proposed admission in a member-state of the European Union or in a combination of member-states.
About Ireland & Dublin
Dublin is the capital city of Ireland which is a small country with 4 million people located to the west of mainland Europe. Ireland is a member of the European Union (EU) which has a population of approximately 800 million people. Dublin is only 1 hour by plane from London and is the European Headquarters of software giants such as Google, Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft.
Dublin is one of the most vibrant capital cities in the world. Alive with young people, culture, music, history, art, sport, business, innovation and academic excellence, it is an incredible place in which to study and live. Right next door to the school is the world-famous Trinity College, home to scholars, writers, musicians, poets, artists, and scientists since 1592 and always a source of inspiration for all of our students.
There are more than 1 million people living in the city and they all seem to be very proud of its heritage and rich cultural tradition. Cafes, bars and restaurants are full of conversation where music and fun spill onto the streets where artists display their creations. It all adds to this lively, bubbly, interesting city. And this is where you can live and study as you prepare for your further education in university.
Accommodation
Before a student comes to study with us, we will help to organise their accommodation. This is a city famous for its hospitality. It’s also a university city and that brings a great many choices with our accommodation officer giving all the help a student needs.
Host family accommodation is available on a full-board basis and all of our host families are carefully vetted and selected. Generally, families live outside the city centre in houses with gardens in the suburbs of Dublin with travel times on public transport (bus, train or tram) of no more than 40-50 minutes.
The school offers self-catering apartments all year-round in two fantastic locations in Dublin city in a shared apartment with a single en-suite room or in a single occupancy studio apartment or twin/double apartment.
