International – EU/EEA applicants

Individuals for EU/EEA states have the same entitlements to education as Irish citizens. Colleges are required to confirm the status of any applicant from an EU/EEA state prior to making an offer of a place on a course, by referencing to proof of identification. Only the following should be accepted as proof of identity in such circumstances:

• Passport (from country of citizenship)
• National Identity Card for EU/EEA/Swiss citizens

The requirement for full economic fees does not apply for EU/EEA eligible applicants.

International – Non EU/EEA applicants

PLC programmes are not part of the Interim List of Eligible Programmes (ILEP), which provide for non-EU/EEA applicants to seek a valid visa to enter the country for study purposes.

Applicants who cannot evidence AT THE TIME OF APPLICATION that they have a legal entitlement to be in the country and avail of publicly funded education CANNOT be considered for enrolment.
Applicants must present at application stage of a valid PPSN and/or appropriate visa.

Non EU/EEA applicants must pay the full economic fees of €3,653.
