Working in Ireland

"All full-time programmes at DCU are included on the Department of Education and Science's Internationalisation Register of Programmes approved by the Minister for Education and Science for the purpose of access to employment by students from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland."

a) Entitlement to Employment

EU/EEA nationals have the same entitlement to take up employment as that of an Irish person.

Non-EU/EEA students are entitled to work up to 20 hours part-time per week and full-time during the university holidays. The entitlement to take up employment ceases once your student visa expire. Following completion of your studies, if you wish to continue in employment, you will require a work permit to do so. Although this entitlement to work certainly eases the financial burden on international students, we would not advise that you rely solely on this source of income during your stay here. The Garda National Immigration Bureau also expects proof that you will have sufficient funds to fund your period of study in Ireland.

b) Personal Public Service (PPS) Number:

All employees in Ireland have a PPS number for tax purposes. If you are planning to take up part-time employment in Ireland, you must apply for a PPS number. An information sheet on how to obtain a PPS number can be obtained from the International Office at DCU. Please call in to collect this information at your convenience.

STUDENT VISA REQUIREMENTS- Ireland                          

NOTE: These requirements are intended to act as a guideline only and do not limit the discretion of the visa officer in determining individual applications.They are subject to change as we continue in our efforts to provide a more efficient service to our customers. You should therefore regularly check for the most recent version which will have the date of implementation at the bottom of this document.

The following information outlines the minimum documentation you must submit with your application. Please read carefully.

The Application Form should be submitted along with ALL supporting documentation.
Original documents are required and must be in ENGLISH or accompanied by a notarised translation of same. All documents must be clearly legible.The Visa Officer will need to easily identify what they are and to whom they refer.

From the 14th July, 2008, all student visa applications should contain a copy of an Electronic Transfer of Funds from the applicant to the Irish Bank of the college, showing details of beneficiary's name, address, bank details and the same details for sender.  We would hope that the fees would be returned to the applicant if the visa is refused.

Any unsigned declarations, false information, forged or fraudulent documentation will result in the refusal of your application and no appeal will be permitted.
The onus is on you, the applicant, to satisfy the Visa Officer that a visa should be granted.
The granting of a Student Visa does not entitle you to have any person, whether related to you or not, to join or visit you in Ireland.

In applying for a Student Visa you must be able to show that:

 You are enrolled on a privately funded course involving at least 15 hours of organised daytime tuition each week

 You have paid the requisite fees to the college

You have the academic ability to follow your chosen course.

You must show you have sufficient funds to support your stay in Ireland without recourse to public funds, or the reliance on casual employment.

Any lump sum lodgements made during the immediate three months prior to your application must be fully explained, with supporting evidence provided  

For example - if such a lump sum lodgement has come from the proceeds of a sale of property or encashment of Savings Certificates, Fixed Rate Deposit accounts, or any similar type sources, then clear evidence of this

Where a bank statement or a letter from the bank is submitted giving only a mobile phone number, post box number as address, or an email address of Yahoo, Hotmail etc, this will not be considered as evidence of finances, and may in fact raise an issue of credibility over the whole application.  

The statement should cover a six-month period immediately prior to your application, and show all transactions that have taken place during this time  

Handwritten entries or details on bank statements will not be accepted  

Any documents not in English must be translated

English Department

Atlanticside College is an accredited with The Advisory Council for English language Schools and a MEI RELSA member. Atlanticside College can deliver English courses to students with varying levels of the English language.  

English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Industry in Ireland has been established since the late 60s. The EFL industry is the provision of English Language Tuition to non-native speakers of English. Over the past 40 years it has developed into a significant sector bringing over 200,000 non-Irish students each year to study English. The International education sector is already worth at least 600 million a year to the Irish economy. 

Ireland has become a very important destination for international students looking to improve the English Language skills and to proceed further in Higher Studies. Our student profile currently consists of juniors, adults and executives.  

There are 115 EFL training centres/schools in Ireland. More than 85% are located in Dublin, Cork and Galway. Due to the increase of living costs and high rents in Dublin, Cork and Galway, it is now imperative for students to relocate to avail of a safer and more affordable course of study. Bundoran can offer a lower cost of living and low cost quality accommodation for international students. A tourism structure is currently in place in Bundoran, the town already has all the right amenities for students to enjoy themselves outside of the classroom.
