Why does Independent College ask for the full fee as a deposit?

Its deposit to hold a place is the full programme fee: €11,500 for the MA, or the first year’s €9,100 for a bachelor’s. That already covers the €6,000 of tuition the visa needs, so you pay nothing more before applying. Ask how refunds work if the visa is refused.

Does the Independent College MA in Dispute Resolution give Stamp 1G?

It is listed as an NFQ Level 9 master’s in our data, so graduates can get up to 24 months of Stamp 1G stay-back with no job offer needed. Confirm the level and the ILEP listing on the official course page, and think about the job market for dispute resolution roles first.

In February. Every Independent College course on our list runs a February start alongside September, so there is no January intake. That gives you a few more weeks for the offer, the fee payment and the visa. If you are aiming for January, compare Dublin colleges with January starts, such as NCI and DBS.
