Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose an English language school in Ireland?
If you need a study visa, first check that the school has courses on the official list (ILEP); every school page here shows this. Then compare location, Google reviews, class sizes and prices. Use our comparison tool to evaluate up to 3 schools side by side.
Do I need a visa to study English in Ireland?
EU/EEA and Swiss citizens do not need a visa. Other nationalities studying for more than 90 days usually need permission to remain (often a Stamp 2), and the course must be on the official ILEP or TrustEd Ireland list of eligible programmes. Requirements depend on your nationality and circumstances, so check the current rules at irishimmigration.ie before you apply.
How much does it cost to study English in Ireland?
Tuition typically costs between €150 and €350 per week depending on the school and course type. Budget an additional €900–€1,400 per month for accommodation and living costs in Dublin, or €700–€1,100 in Cork or Galway.
Which Irish city is best for learning English?
Dublin has the most schools and best transport links. Cork and Galway offer a more relaxed atmosphere at lower cost. Smaller towns like Bray and Greystones offer full immersion with fewer non-English speakers around.
Can I work while studying English in Ireland?
Yes. Students on a Stamp 2 visa can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and 40 hours during college holidays, provided they are enrolled in a minimum 15-hour per week course.
