information on full time studies at irish university?

Question

I'm an American who wishes to study politics, law, or history. can anyone give me some information. If I go to school in Ireland I plan on living there. any information about other schools such as maynooth, uc-cork, galway, u-ulster, and Queens University Belfast would also be a big help. the person who writes the most gets points.

Answer 1

The only way to get proper information is by using the web, email and your phone:

Here are the larger Irish Universities:

University College Dublin: http://www.ucd.ie or http://www.nuid.ie
Trinity College Dublin: http://www.tcd.ie
Dublin City University http://www.dcu.ie - very new
National University of Ireland Galway http://www.nuig.ie
University College Cork http://www.ucc.ie
National University of Ireland Maynooth http://www.nuim.ie
University of Limerick http://www.ul.ie

There are plenty more private colleges that would offer the subjects you want. For an American studying in Ireland the costs are very high - unless, of course, you have an Irish passport. The Irish have free college education, EU members have half fees and foreign nationals pay full fees.

I'll give you info on my College, UCD purely because its the easiest for me, I'd imagine its similar for other Universities..

Fees for non-EU students can be found here:

(The entry for politics and history is through Arts, Law is a separate course)

http://www.ucd.ie/fees/fees/undergraduate.htm

Law generally has very high requirements while the entry for Arts, which includes politics and history, is usually much more reasonable.

Just realised I forgot about the Northern Unis - google them!

One more thing, entry for all Irish Republic Universities is done through the CAO system: http://www.cao.ie - You will have to contact them to find out how they deal with American applicants.

Entry for British Universities (incl. North Ireland) is via the UCAS system http://www.ucas.co.uk

The British entry system is quite different (and fairer - Irish system is purely based on marks) to the Irish system.

Answer 2

I'm applying to go to Maynooth in September. I've been to the open days and it's a really great place, huge campus in a small town about 45 minutes from Dublin.
the website is www.nuim.ie
you'll need to check that out seeing as you're applying from abroad. also the site will have full info on entry requirements-good luck :)
