However, a Monday may not be suitable if it falls on or immediately around a school closure, public holiday or period when the required level\/timetable is not available.<\/p>\n<h2>How should I choose my start date?<\/h2>\n<p>Start with the month or Monday you prefer. Admissions can then confirm the closest suitable live date for your chosen timetable.<\/p>\n<p>If you need accommodation, your course date should also be coordinated with the accommodation arrival date.<\/p>\n<h2>Estudiantes con necesidad de visa<\/h2>\n<p>If you require an Irish entry visa, your course start should leave enough time for the booking, full payment, Letter of Acceptance, visa documents and application processing.<\/p>\n<p>Irish Immigration currently allows a Long Stay Study Visa application up to 3 months before intended travel. In practical terms, earlier school planning reduces pressure.<\/p>\n<h2>Estudiantes que no necesitan visa<\/h2>\n<p>Visa-exempt students do not normally need to complete an entry-visa application before travel, but they should still choose a realistic date for payment, travel planning, accommodation and the immigration steps that may apply after arrival.<\/p>\n<h2>Current promotion and future starts<\/h2>\n<p>General November Savings bookings are eligible from <strong>1 to 30 November 2026<\/strong>. The separate AY15 Afternoon Black Friday offer (\u20ac2,500) is for bookings from <strong>2 to 30 November 2026<\/strong>. Under the current promotion conditions, eligible starts can be up to <strong>30 June 2028<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>School closures<\/h2>\n<p>Public holidays and the Christmas closure affect teaching dates. Admissions confirms the exact calendar for your booking so you do not need to calculate the programme around closures yourself.<\/p>\n<h2>Not sure which date to choose?<\/h2>\n<p>Tell us your preferred month, whether you need a visa and whether you need accommodation. We can then confirm a suitable course start instead of forcing you to guess from a static calendar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/es\/get-started\/\">Check your preferred start date<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/es\/how-to-enrol\/\">C\u00f3mo inscribirse<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Academic Year Start Dates in Dublin Academic Year programmes normally start on Mondays, but the correct date depends on the school calendar, public holidays, live class availability and your immigration &#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-33","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/academicyear.studyinireland.ie\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/33","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/academicyear.studyinireland.ie\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/academicyear.studyinireland.ie\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academicyear.studyinireland.ie\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academicyear.studyinireland.ie\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/academicyear.studyinireland.ie\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/33\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":583,"href":"https:\/\/academicyear.studyinireland.ie\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/33\/revisions\/583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/academicyear.studyinireland.ie\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
