HND Qualifications ---Do we stand a chance to study in Ireland ?
==================================================

I'll be addressing getting an admission offer in Irish Universities with a Higher National Diploma (HND) Result today.

I've received significant number of queries which includes: Can a HND graduate apply to study in Ireland? to Duration of studies for HND graduates.

Yes, as a HND graduate you can study almost anywhere in the world once you have the required funds available. Securing an admission offer for HND graduate is similar to BSc gradautes with a third class degree especially for Republic of Ireland and Canada .

Such can either opt for a top-up degree which can be between 1 to 2 years or a 1 year Postgraduate diploma (PGD) route.
Because unlike the UK, Ireland offers a 4 year undergraduate program for BSc-Honours (unlike the UK where BSc is 3 years); depending on your transcripts or grades , you can be offered 1-year top up degree or 2 years if your results are not satisfactory enough.

Some Universities however have the PGD route available to both HND qualification holders or 3rd Class BSc graduates; program duration is 1 year and you still entitled to the post-study work visa if you successfully complete your program.

FAQs
====
1. Ireland has 2 categories of BSc - Ordinary BSc- level 7 (Program duration is 3 years) and BSc Honors- level 8 (Program duration is 4 years)
Post-study work visa for bachelors degree is 1 year.

2. PGD : Postgraduate diploma in Ireland is equivalent to NFQ Level 9 similar to MA/MSc/MBA - hopefully this category is also entitled to 2 years work permit after graduation.

3. It is worthwhile to mention that studying in Ireland in terms of financial capability is similar to the UK especially when it comes to Tuition fees and living costs.
4. Tuition fees for UG programs in Ireland is between EUR 10,500 and up to EUR 35,000 per year depending on your choice of program or University.

5. Living costs is between EUR 7,000 AND EUR 11,000 depending on where your University is. If in Dublin City, you're expected to have EUR 11,000 to cover your living expenses for duration of your Postgraduate program.

Application/Admission requirements (As I've earlier stated in the Thread) is similar for either UG or PG programs :

1. CV
2. SOP
3. O-level results
4. Transcripts
5. Valid passport datapage
6. Passport photograph
7. 6-months bank statement ; Yours or your sponsor (This should show proof you have enough in Naira equivalent to cover both your Tuition fees and living expenses).
8. Application charges as stated by individual University
9. English proficiency test results *** Should be less than 2 years at the time of application---Exception however if you currently hold a bachelors degree from the UK, US or Canada.


Best Regards
