As part of your application process the College needs to receive the following supporting documentation from you:

• A completed application form, either submitted online or in paper

• All academic qualifications & transcripts to date

• Evidence of your English level (usually IELTS/TOEFL or Cambridge).  

• Curriculum Vitae/Resume

• An academic ot emplyer reference

• Statement of Purpose - i.e. an introduction letter explaining your CV and also detailing why you would want to come to Ireland and DBS to study and how you think it would benefit you when you return home

• Photocopy of the first page of your passport

• If you are currently resident in Ireland a photocopy of your current GNIB card is also required

Please note that all of this documentation can be sent to us by email initially however we will need to receive the official notarised translated copies of all academic documentation prior to issuing a formal confirmed offer.

Decisions can normally be made within 5 working days as long as we have received all of the necessary documentation and within 48 hours if you are applying through an approved agent.

If you meet the entry requirements of the course you will be notified by email and issued a provisional offer. Formal confirmed offers can only be issued to applicants who have met the conditions of their offer, and once the fees have been received by us and cleared by the bank.

Once you meet the entry requirements and have paid your fees you should then apply for a study visa.  Full details about how to do this are available on the following website: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Irish%20Visa%20Information  

We wish you every success with your application.  If you have questions regarding any of the above please do not hesitate to contact the International Department by emailing:  international@dbs.ie
