Engineering & Technology - With International Commencement Programme (ICP)
The ICP programme in Engineering & Technology is a specialised course designed to support international students to progress to studying: Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computing or Software Engineering.

Who is the Course for?
• Have completed their local high school qualification (equivalent to Irish Leaving Certificate)
• Have completed high school qualification or equivalent, but do not meet the entry requirements for university admission.
• Need to improve their English language before studying at a European University.

These programmes will deliver intensive English and subject specific knowledge, to provide a foundation in the subject specific area and a boost toward EU university entry.

In order to facilitate students and meet their needs we have developed three The International Commencement Programme options:
• ICP in Engineering & Technology: This is an alternative route to study Engineering & Technology and progress on to an EU university.
• Pre-ICP Studies: This option is for students who have not met the IELTS 4.5 entry requirement for the ICP and need to prepare beforehand in order to do so.
• Advanced Entry to University: This is for students who have met the entry requirements for an EU university. Need to assess their university options and be provided with some assistance in the entry application
