University of Limerick – English Language Standalone Program Application Requirements
You are here
There are no eligibility requirements or language test scores for this program. You join the level most suited to your ability.
Proof of Language Proficiency
Most academic programs require evidence of your language proficiency for place allocation. This might be an internationally recognized TOEFL or IELTS certificate, or it might be an online placement proficiency test. Each university and program has different requirements, so talk to your program coordinator for details.
If you are enrolling in a language program, you do not need proof of your language proficiency, but it can be useful to facilitate course placement if you would like to include one in your application.
Proof of Deposit
You must submit your deposit confirmation form before you apply to the university.
Your proof of deposit checklist:
- Make sure the information in the document is in English, lists Study Abroad Foundation as the recipient, you or your sponsor’s name as the sender, and the amount you have paid in the local currency of your Host Country
- Don’t confuse your proof of deposit with your certificate of deposit (bank statement)
SAF Program Agreement
SAF requires the program agreement to confirm you agree to SAF policy and are ready to continue the application process. This is an electronic Forms Builder DocuSign form.
Your program agreement checklist:
