It depends. Most Irish universities require a completed bachelor's degree for master's admission. With a 66% graduation score and no backlogs, you meet the typical minimum (around 65%) for many programs.

However, if your bachelor's degree is incomplete or you have academic gaps, eligibility will depend on how you present your profile. Some institutions may consider applicants with relevant work experience or additional qualifications.

To improve your chances, clearly explain any gaps in your Statement of Purpose and aim for a strong IELTS score (usually 6.5 overall, no section below 6.0).
