American College Dublin has two intakes per year: in September and January.
There are two ways to apply to the College: through the CAO system or directly to the Admissions office. All of the College’s QQI programmes are available for application through the CAO system: BA (Hons) in Liberal Arts and BA (Hons) in International Business. A prospective student may submit an application for all other courses directly to the Admissions Office at American College Dublin.
Applicants whose first language is not English should have an IELTS score of 6.5 (or equivalent).
Further education students
The College accepts students from further education colleges to all of its courses. Students must have gained three distinctions in a cognate area of the degree programme that they wish to study. Students must have a full level 5 or level 6 award and this award may have been taken over a number of years.
Mature student application
Mature applicants can apply through the CAO for the September intake or make a direct application for the College’s other intakes. Mature applicants must be 23 years of age on 1 January of the year that they wish to begin their course. Mature applicants must be interviewed by one of the admissions team. All applicants must submit a CV and a personal statement to the College.
Other EU applications
Every student who has taken examinations in an EU member state is expected to have completed mathematics and English in his or her final year. The only exception to this is students who have completed the A-Levels. These students must have taken mathematics and English for their O-Levels. Please refer the Admissions section for full listings of entry requirements for non-EU students.
