What is the intake process for January intake? Do they teach semester 2 first and then switch to semester 1 in Ireland?

Yes, for the January intake in Ireland, you typically start with Semester 2 (Spring Semester), which runs from late January to mid-April. After completing Semester 2, you continue with Semester 1 (Autumn Semester) starting in September, effectively completing the academic year in reverse order.
Not all universities or programs offer a January intake, so availability may vary by institution and course.
