To promote inclusivity and based on several concerns received from international students, the Irish universities may waive the IELTS test requirement for one or more of the following reasons:Students have received their previous education from an English medium institution. Students belong to a nation where English is a primary medium of communication.Universities may also waive the IELTS test requirement on a case-by-case basis, considering the students.Universities may also offer conditional offers to students who need to meet the English proficiency requirement before the start of their course.

IELTS exam is just a means of proving your English proficiency to the university and visa officers in Ireland. This can be done by taking standardised and internationally accepted English tests other than IELTS. On the free education part, it may be possible for students a complete fee waiver and/or living expenses support by means of scholarship or merit provided by the Irish university. But studying completely free of any costs in Ireland may be highly unlikely as there may be some other one-time registration/maintenance/enrolment charges which may be minimal but makes the education some worth rather than being completely free.&

Yes, working part-time as a student in Ireland can be possible. This is because if you are already studying a degree course in Ireland, this means that you ahve proven your proficiency in the language both to the university and the visa officers. Hence, you are sufficient enough to converse in the language. Since the IELTS test is not a necessary requirement to work for employers in Ireland, showcasing English language proficiency through alternative methods may prove advantageous. However, some employers might still require an IELTS score based on the nature of the job.

Yes, one can get an Ireland student visa even if they do not wish to take the IELTS test. This can be done by either taking a preparatory pre-sessional English course in Ireland which further makes you eligible for a UG course without you having to take the IELTS or any other test. However, some pre-preparatory courses may also require some level of English proficiency, you must discuss the same with your university. The other means of bypassing the IELTS test for Ireland student visa is to take other English test which you can prepare for well in time.

Indeed, a graduate in MEng in Electronics and Computer Engineering from Dublin City University (DCU) should be valid in India as DCU is a recognised and accredited institution. Yet, to work or for further studies in India, you may have to establish equivalence of your degree with AIU, which assesses foreign degrees for recognition. Government and Higher Education- For government jobs or for higher education, it would be better to check what the concerned institutions or organizations require. DCU's quality of education is renowned internationally, so the degree should be acceptable in most professional sectors in India.
