If the applicant's academic ability is not enough, he can go to Ireland to study for the preparatory course first, so that there is a buffer time to prepare for admission; Similarly, if the language is not up to standard, you can go to Ireland for language classes first. It will be more helpful for everyone to apply for further study.

As for the international student credit cards or international credit cards introduced by many banks, it is recommended to use them with caution. Because the issuing bank of credit card is in China, although it is convenient to consume, it needs to pay an annual fee, and the handling fee for withdrawing cash abroad is higher.
