The Academic Year (AY) Programme, for NON-EU students, is a life-defining experience. The course is a six-month period of study which grants an eight month visa (GNIB Stamp 2). Students on this programme can work part-time (20h per week) and full-time (40h per week during June to September inclusive and from 15th December to 15th January) whilst living in Ireland and can choose morning or afternoon classes to suit their timetable. The Linguaviva Centre provides all the help and support you need from visa application to work preparation and interview. There are different requirements for Stamp 2 applications based on the nationality of the candidate, please, check with our enrolment team for further details.
