Prospective Students Pre – Sessional English

What are the Pre-Sessional Courses?

Students will be able to join classes from any Monday starting from the 9th of January, for 4 or 6 weeks. The final day of classes will be Friday, 17th of February.

Classes will be delivered online via Zoom from Monday through Friday for 20 hours/week. This will include afternoon sessions Monday – Friday from 14h00 to 17h30, and an additional session on Friday mornings from 11h30 to 13h30:

Please note that students will also have two hours per week of tutor-directed study.

This is not an ILEP programme and as such, is not eligible for student visa purposes. 

Who are they for?

These classes are geared largely toward students whose current English level falls just short of the required score for their chosen Undergraduate or Post-graduate course.

Recommended course duration depends on the student’s test score, as below:

4 weeks pre-sessional course for applicants within 0.5

6 weeks pre-sessional course for applicants within 1.0

On successful completion of their course, participants will receive a certificate of completion with their achieved English language score, and will advance straight to the interview stage of the Independent College admissions process.  Please note that students must have a minimum attendance percentage of 80% to progress, and must participate actively in order to be marked present. 

It is also possible for confirmed Independent College students to join to refresh their academic English skills in preparation for higher education.

This programme is designed solely for the purposes of applicants preparing for Independent College programmes, and is not available to outside applicants.  

How much are they?

Fees for the pre-sessional English course are €300 for the 4-week programme, and€600 for the 6-week programme. These fees must be paid in advance to start the pre-sessional course and are non-refundable.  


The fees paid for the pre-sessional course are deducted from the total tuition fees of their degree programme at Independent College Dublin. 

How do I join?

Any students interested in the pre-sessional English classes will fill out the online Pre-Sessional application form, and complete payment before joining classes in January.

As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with any other questions you may have with regard to this opportunity!
