Postgraduate Applications

Applications for postgraduate courses in the following universities can be made online through the Postgraduate Applications Centre (www.pac.ie):

• University College Cork (except for non-EU research students)
• Dublin City University
• NUI Maynooth
• NUI Galway
• Trinity College Dublin
• Waterford Institute of Technology

A certain amount of courses in these universities are applied for in the old-fashioned paper form fashion; contact the institution in question to see what method applies to your course.

The PAC also facilitates online applications for two specific areas of fourth level study: Public Health Nursing and the Postgraduate Diploma in Education (second level teacher training).

For postgraduate courses in all other institutions, applicants need to contact the college in question directly.

There is no national deadline for applications to postgraduate courses in Ireland, however most taught programmes have a deadline in June/July, while research degrees tend to be much more flexible with year round student enrolment.
