Having one cleared backlog generally does not prevent you from studying abroad, especially in Ireland. Most universities focus on your overall academic performance, final degree percentage, and the quality of your application.

All backlogs must be cleared before you apply - active backlogs can affect your admission chances.

To improve your profile, highlight your academic strengths, write a strong statement of purpose, and secure good letters of recommendation.

Low percentage, study gap or no work experience?
