The language reaches or is equivalent to IELTS 4 to 5. The purpose of study is to continue university study, aiming at students around 18-20.
However, if you can get the OFFER for pre-university without going to a language school first, your visa will be treated separately and treated like a graduate student. The application condition for studying in Ireland is to study in Ireland through a short-term language visa, and then apply for other types of visas such as undergraduate and postgraduate visas after the language is passed.
Language requirements at each stage
1, high school language requirements
Considering that this standard is a bit high for high school students, most colleges and universities in Ireland offer language courses. Generally speaking, IELTS score of 6 or TOEFL score of 80 can be read in a language class 10 weeks or so. IELTS 5.5 or TOEFL 70 can take language classes for half a year; IELTS 5 or TOEFL 60 can choose an independent preparatory course to enter an 8-month language class; If you don't reach IELTS 5 or TOEFL 60, Ireland has also prepared a zero-based language class for everyone.
2. Language requirements of universities
Language requirements for studying in some universities in Ireland: English scores reach 5.5 to 6 points in Class A IELTS. More than 5 points, depending on the application subject.

Extended reading: a list of advantages of receiving higher education in Ireland
I. English teaching
In colleges and universities, except for learning a specific language major, other majors are basically taught in English, so that you don't need to learn another language, you just need to improve your level simultaneously.
Besides, English will be the main language for daily communication. Ireland is the country whose mother tongue is English for the longest time except Britain. Its cultural development and social atmosphere have a strong sense of English existence, which helps everyone to improve their language level.
Second, many.
The number of schools here is small, but the proportion is high, paying attention to the cultivation of elite classes, so the success rate of students will be high and the goal of choosing schools will be clear. You can start doing your homework early and study all the schools.
There are eight national universities, thirteen polytechnics and three private colleges worth applying for, which are directly recognized by the Ministry of Education of China. Everyone's academic qualifications are high in gold. In addition to the Institute of Technology, other colleges are comprehensive, and the professional settings are complete.
Third, the academic system is short.
The time required for study is generally one year shorter than that for domestic study, because more attention will be paid to professionalism in the curriculum setting, and some courses with low professional relevance will be classified as elective courses, so that the number of required courses will be reduced and the study time will naturally be shortened.
If you have no plans to go to school, you can take a three-year general bachelor's degree, and you can go to school only by reading a four-year honorary bachelor's degree. The general master's study is one year, and a few research-oriented masters need to study for two years, mainly for further study.
Fourth, the entrance is simple.
The application time for school opening is basically the same as that of most European countries. It is open in 10 month one year before admission, and students can only submit their own applications. It's time to submit your application so that you can catch up with the first round of exams.
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.
Further reading: saving money skills in studying in Ireland
First, save money on accommodation.
The number of dormitories provided by the school is small and the price is not cheap. Most international students in China will choose to rent a house. I suggest that you choose the sharing method to ensure that you can save more expenses. Of course, choosing a room and a roommate is very important.
You can rent those houses directly, and some students can rent a whole house directly as their second landlord, which will be very convenient and do not need to deal with other things; You can also find a roommate first, and then rent a big room together to ensure stability.
Second, travel saves money.
At present, the most popular choice for students is to buy a monthly ticket. The monthly fee is fixed and the number of rides can be unlimited. This is very cost-effective for students who often go out or live far away. Of course, there are short-term daily tickets and weekly tickets.
In addition, some students, who want to save more money, will choose to go to class by bike, which is actually a good choice. They can also exercise and travel at no cost, but they work harder every day.
Third, eat to save money.
If you want to save money, you should reduce the frequency of eating out. If you are lazy, you can choose the canteen provided by the school, which will provide safe and convenient food, and because of the subsidy from the school, the price is also relatively cheap, which is the choice of most students.
Students who rent a house can choose to cook by themselves. The purchase price of ingredients and semi-finished products is relatively cheap, and everyone has strong autonomy. Of course, it will be more troublesome for everyone, but it will be much better if someone shares something.
Fourth, shopping saves money.
Daily necessities, etc You can go to a large supermarket, where there are generally more complete varieties and the price will be cheaper. Most importantly, it will save things, help everyone to complete one-stop shopping, and it is very convenient.
And clothes and so on. You can buy it when there is a seasonal discount or when there is a large-scale promotion at ordinary times. This time will be more cost-effective, and you need to pay close attention to the information of brands or shopping malls.
