Where do I apply?
How to Determine if you are an EU or Non-EU Applicant
Please be advised that your fee assessment status determines how you should apply.
In all cases, IADT undergraduate applicants who are granted EU fee status will only be admitted through the Central Applications Office system, in line with CAO policies and procedures and the IADT Access, Transfer + Progression Policy.
How to Determine your Fee Status
Answer the following questions to help determine your status:
- Were you born outside the EU/EEA?
- Have you, or your parents, lived outside the EU/EEA for 3 of the last 5 years?
- Are you a non-EU/EEA National?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, review the International Undergraduate Students Fee Information document or International Postgraduate Students Fee Information document on the Fees and Grants page.
If you are unsure of your status please contact us at admissions@staging.iadt.ie. for further clarification.
