The deadline for the January intake in Ireland usually falls between September and December, depending on the course and university. Some courses close applications earlier, so you should confirm the exact date for your course on the official university website before you apply.

The deadline for the January intake in Ireland usually falls between September and December, and it depends on the course and university. Deadlines are programme-specific, and many January 2027 courses close in early December (for example DCU on 4 December and Maynooth on 5 December), so do not wait until the last month.
