The International Office

 

The international office also has a supervisory role in monitoring student progress and ensuring that they are aware of and comply with the regulations of the school.

 

• Applications for Admission – assessment of academic qualifications.
• Study Visa – providing advice and college letters needed to apply for a visa and renew a visa once the student is in Ireland.
• Invitation Letters – for parents or relatives who wish to visit students in Ireland.
• Accommodation – Accommodation can be arranged with specially chosen host families.
• Monitoring of attendance – attendance records are rigorously kept and monitored.

• Academic support – reviewing essays and assignments for exam preparation. We also monitor student’s academic progress in liaison with teachers.
• Academic Progress Reports – we provide parents and guardians with information on how the student is performing and behaving. Parents are also advised when members of the International Office are visiting their country, should they wish to arrange a meeting to discuss any part of their children’s education.

“We are very proud of the achievements of our international students and the role we play in helping them to achieve their career goals. Our students have attained the highest results to gain entry into some of the best universities in the world such as the Royal College of Surgeons, Trinity College Dublin and Cambridge University. We will do everything we can to ensure that students have a successful, happy year in The Institute of Education.”
