International Admissions Policy and Procedures

The admission of international learners is a key priority for the Institute and is governed by national legislation and quality assurance requirements. As part of Ireland’s TrustEd Ireland statutory quality mark (authorisation to use the mark pending), higher education providers must demonstrate compliance with the QQI Code of Practice for Provision of Programmes of Higher Education to International Learners (HE Code).

This policy sets out the Institution’s approach to international admissions and the recognition of qualifications, ensuring that processes are fair, transparent, and consistent, and that they safeguard the interests of international learners from the point of application through to programme completion. 

This broad framework policy sets out the Institute’s principles and procedures implemented for international learners (who have applied through the International Office) for admission to accredited full-time and part-time programmes from Level 6 to Level 10 on the NFQ.
