The Study & Work English Language Programme Scholarship was set up by DCU Language Services to assist international students who seek to advance their educational and career goals and who have a requirement to improve their English language skills.  

As part of this initiative, a number of scholarships will be provided for the DCULS’ Academic Year Programme which combines 6 months of General English (speaking, reading, writing and listening) with specialised exam preparation (IELTS, Cambridge or equivalent).

Cathal Maye, CEO of DCU Language Services, commented about the scholarship: ‘’the scholarships are part of DCU’s strategy to integrate international dimensions as widely as possible into all curricula and to develop students that can succeed in increasingly internationalised career environments.  This programme is aimed at students who will need high levels of English language skills to be effective in future academic courses or job roles.’’

The scholarship scheme will be delivered on a ‘Funding-Round’ basis. The current round refers to programmes commencing between August and December 2022.

Applications are now open — the online application form can be found here.
