Mary Immaculate College is a recognised College of the University of Limerick. While it has all the features of a university, its degrees are awarded and validated by the University of Limerick, giving students the benefits of a small, supportive community with the prestige of a university award.
No, MIC welcomes students of all faiths and backgrounds. While it has a historic Catholic ethos and is a leading provider of primary teacher education, it offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in the Liberal Arts, including Psychology, English, Media Studies, and Sociology.
The primary route for EU undergraduate applications is through the Central Applications Office (CAO) by February 1st for standard entry. The late application deadline is May 1st. Some courses may have additional assessment or interview requirements after this date.
Yes, MIC actively encourages applications from mature students (aged 23 or over on January 1st of the year of entry). Applications are made through the CAO by February 1st, and selection is based on an assessment of written applications and, for many courses, an interview process.
Absolutely. MIC offers a full BA degree in Psychology and a BA in Liberal Arts where you can major in English, Media Studies, or other subjects. These are academic degrees designed for various career paths, not solely teaching, and include options for postgraduate study.
The BEd programme includes integrated teaching practice placements in a variety of primary schools each year. MIC has partnerships with over 500 schools. Placements are supported by cooperating teachers and college supervisors, providing graduated, hands-on experience.
MIC offers a number of International Student Scholarships, which are merit-based and can significantly reduce tuition fees. These are awarded on a competitive basis to high-achieving incoming non-EU students based on their academic credentials.
EU students may be eligible for government grants like SUSI. MIC also has a small number of merit-based scholarships and bursaries for continuing students, often based on academic performance or specific criteria such as participation in the Gaeltacht scholarship for Irish language students.
MIC does not own its own on-campus residence halls. However, the College's Accommodation Office provides a comprehensive service, approving and listing high-standard private rentals (digs, houses, apartments) within walking distance and offering strong support to find safe housing.
Most students live in dedicated student housing complexes or rented houses in areas like the city centre or Corbally. Costs vary, but a single room in a shared house typically ranges from €450 to €600 per month. The Accommodation Office provides a rent guide and advice.
Non-EU graduates can apply for the Third Level Graduate Programme, which allows them to remain in Ireland for up to 24 months (for Master's/PhD graduates) to seek employment. This provides a critical window to secure a job and transition to an employment-based permit.
During the initial period of the Third Level Graduate Programme, you are permitted to work full-time in any occupation while you seek graduate-level employment. Once you secure a graduate-level role, you must then apply for a relevant employment permit to stay long-term.
