Academic Year Programmes (25 weeks' tuition + 8 weeks' holiday)
The Academic Year Programme is specifically designed for Non EU/EEA students who wish to follow a 25-week full-time programme in English. Students are allowed to stay in Ireland for an 8-month period, may work part-time for up to 20 hours per week during their studies and take the opportunity to travel and work in Ireland during their holiday period.
REQUIREMENTS for Academic Year students:
Students must register for and sit recognised end-of-course exams such as TIE, Cambridge or IELTS examination. Before registration with GNIB, you must pay an end-of-programme exam fee to the school which we can use later when registering you for the appropriate examination. When registration dates are available, the school will register students for the appropriate end-of-course exam.
Students must have valid medical insurance. Students can purchase MediCover Insurance through Limerick Language Centre which is accepted by the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB).
