Are there any options available for masters intake after September in Ireland for a Master's?
Yes, some universities in Ireland offer a master's intake after September, typically in January. This allows students another opportunity to start their studies if they miss the main September intake.
- January intake is available at select universities for programs such as Data Analytics, Management, Finance, Computing, and Engineering.
- Not all programs are offered in January - availability varies by university and course.
- Application deadlines for January intake usually fall between October and November of the previous year.
- Visa processing for Ireland generally takes 8 - 12 weeks, so plan to apply by October for a January start.
