1. Overview of the application process for studying in Ireland

1. Collect school information and choose the major and direction of application.

Inquire about school and professional information through various channels (network, consulting overseas institutions, writing letters to schools), and select the basic level and general direction of professional application institutions in combination with professional background, interests and personal advantages. Ireland has many institutions to choose from. There are more than 20 Irish schools in the list of schools recognized by the Ministry of Education, and each school has different characteristics and advantages.

2. Prepare application documents.

Because letters of recommendation, personal statements and other documents are very important to the application, this step requires students to invest a lot of energy. Students are generally advised to spend several months preparing. Documents include resume, personal statement and two letters of recommendation. Personal statement is the most important, because the recommendation letter and resume only show the specific information of the applicant to the school, and personal statement is the opportunity for the applicant to show his personal character and academic expertise to the school. Schools usually attach great importance to the language ability, personality and academic interest shown by applicants in their personal statements. The whole application in Ireland is in the form of online application, so the documents and materials do not need to be mailed, and can generally be uploaded directly to the system or handed over to the school.

3. Delivery of application materials

Due to the different opening hours of schools in Ireland, applicants need to pay attention to the application dynamics in advance. The general opening hours are 10, 1. After submitting the application, it usually takes 3-4 weeks for the school to announce the results one after another. After receiving conditional admission, students need to pay a deposit to occupy the quota. Usually, after paying the deposit, students must take the IELTS test and submit it before June-July of the following year. If your IELTS score is not up to standard, some Irish universities also offer short-term language classes, and students need to apply in advance.

Step 4 prepare visa materials

The list of materials required by the Irish Immigration Bureau will be more, but the student visa refusal rate is actually very low. Irish visa materials are complicated as a whole, involving parents' work, capital flow, guarantee money, insurance, etc., and students need to be fully prepared. All non-English materials must be translated. After preparation, students need to make an appointment to submit their visas online, and then bring all the materials to the visa center to submit their visa materials.

After submission, the Irish Embassy will send the passport and visa directly to the students themselves in about two weeks. To get a visa, you need to check your personal information and visa information to prevent mistakes. The routine is a three-month entry visa, and after entering the country, you can apply for an IRP card at GNIB office.

3. Common sense of studying in Ireland

I. Registration of identity

Like many countries, after arriving in Ireland, international students need to go to the province where the Immigration Bureau is registered as soon as possible and apply for a residence card. The time limit is three months. If they don't apply for residence after three months, they will be considered illegal and may face deportation.

Second, clothing.

In Ireland, although there are not many clothing brands suitable for students to buy, there are many general styles, most of which are fast-selling brands, so there are often discounts and shopping will be very advantageous. We must seize the opportunity.

At the beginning, you can collect some discounts and concessions from all sides, so that you can save time when you need to buy clothes in the future.

Third, food.

The arrangement of three meals a day also needs to be arranged The only big choice you can make is the canteen, cooking by yourself and eating out. Of course, it is unrealistic to rely on only one way, and money and energy are not enough.

In most cases, you will still choose to solve it in the school cafeteria, but you will definitely get tired of eating it. After all, your choice of dishes is very limited. Try to eat out occasionally; Besides, you can do it yourself.

Fourth, live.

Accommodation arrangement is to apply for the dormitory provided by the school, so you only need to apply through the website, and then go through the check-in formalities at the dormitory when applying for admission, without considering other things.

However, if you don't apply for a dormitory, you can rent it yourself, which will be relatively troublesome, because you can't look at the house yourself, you can only entrust an intermediary, but it will be too late to see it in Ireland, so you must be prepared in advance.

Five, okay?

About the preparation of travel, you can wait until Ireland to get familiar with it, but you must be clear about the route from the airport to the school. If no one picks up the plane, you need to go to school by yourself.
