Yes, you can apply for the September 2027 intake after graduating in 2026, as Irish universities typically accept a study gap of up to two years if you provide a clear justification.

To support your application, you should:

- Explain the gap in your Statement of Purpose, such as work experience, skill-building, or personal reasons.
- Provide supporting documents like experience letters, certificates, or evidence of relevant activities during the gap.

A well-documented and explained gap is usually accepted by both universities and visa authorities. If you need help preparing your documents, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
