Bachelor Courses
SUPPORT FOR BACHELOR COURSES
If you choose to do a Bachelor's course through Irish (it doesn't have to be about Irish), Brí Uíbh Ráhaigh can give you support of €700 in the first year (50% after the first round of exams and the second half after end of year exams, if you pass).
This support is only available to those who are to start the course in 2024. It is not available to those already studying at university.
support for participants of Irish-language residence schemes
If you register with the university's Scéim Chónaithe (Irish-language Residence Scheme), we can give you support of €300 towards accommodation and board costs.
Available to those registered from September 2024.
support for members of irish language societies
If you are on the committee of the university's Cumann Gaelach, we can give you support of €150 after you have spent a year on the committee.
Available to those who will be on the committee from September 2024.
These are pilot schemes.
If you are interested, please contact us.

Brí Uíbh Ráthaigh is willing to cover 50% of the fee for a MicroCred course through the medium of Irish for people living in Uíbh Ráthach.
