Participants from outside the EEA can benefit from a 25-week academic year programme which allows them to stay in Ireland for 8 months with the right to work part-time for 6 months (while studying) and full-time for 2 months in summer months as well as in December and January. Students can extend their stay up to two times (24 months in total). Both long terms and short-term, EU and non-EU students, first-time visitors and those who extend their visas attend the classes and progress in English together.  Please note that depending on your country of origin you might be required to apply for visa, or not, before coming to Ireland. In case you need a visa, please allow ample time for your visa application to be considered. 
All non-EU students applying for the academic year programme are required to:

  • have a private medical insurance to cover their entire stay in Ireland (our school can provide it)
  • make arrangements for accommodation ahead of their arrival in Ireland (we can help with this, too)
  • pay the course fees in full (we provide a secure escrow facility at  https://flywire.com/pay/yourenglish-escrow)
