The short version
- Apply directly: non-EU students apply to the university, not through the CAO system.
- After HSC: many universities ask for a foundation year; Trinity’s foundation route asks for HSC results of about 70%.
- Master’s: a relevant bachelor’s with the grades each programme sets.
- ILEP: your course must be on the Interim List of Eligible Programmes to carry student work rights.
- Unconditional offer: needed before the visa.
