• Fees

2. Register with PAC online at www.pac.ie and gather all supporting documentation required for your application (e.g. references, CV, personal statement etc.).

Scanned copies of your supporting documentation must be uploaded to www.pac.ie. Alternatively, supporting documentation can be posted to the Postgraduate Applications Centre, 1 Courthouse Square, Galway. Please note that supplementary documentation should be sent within 7 days of your online application. Documents must be in a clear format, of good quality and a readable size.

Poor quality/unreadable documents may affect the assessment of your application.

3. Apply online at www.pac.ie.
The PAC online application system is now open for new postgraduate applications for the academic year 2019/2020. This is an online application system that allows applicants, for a non-refundable fee of €50 paid directly to PAC, to apply for multiple postgraduate programmes at Institute of Technology Carlow. Applications will be considered in order of preference. If you are successful in receiving an offer on your first preference or first choice of programme, all other preferences will be excluded. Similarly, if you are unsuccessful in your first preference, then your second preference will be considered and so on.

Course selection may be from any of our Masters, Higher Diploma and Postgraduate Diplomas.

PAC may be contacted for support via email: pachelp@ pac.ie or through the website. Applicants may contact Admissions via email: graduatestudies@itcarlow.ie.

To ensure a place on your chosen course we advise registering as soon as possible. Certain programmes are restricted to a limited number of applicants and places on these courses are assigned on a first-come-first-served basis. Late applications will be considered on a case-bycase basis. Institute of Technology Carlow reserves the right to request that some applicants attend for interview to determine their suitability for individual programmes.

Applicants who receive an offer have 14 days to accept or decline that offer. Applicants who accept must also pay a deposit of €500 within that 14-day period which may be paid online via the PAC system. This deposit is then offset against the full tuition fee.

Hide-What is the Master of Business about?
This postgraduate programme brings theory to life through its exciting work placement element and applied learning focus, enabling participants to apply acquired knowledge and competencies in a real-world workplace environment. The programme equips graduates with the attributes required by business to make an immediate contribution to the organisation through its work placement experience element. The industrial placement is of four months duration, from May to August, and affords the student a unique opportunity to implement and reflect on the theories learned on the programme. It will complement the student’s education and broaden his/ her skill set. A number of progressive local enterprises partner with us in this initiative. Work placement is recognised by prospective employers and students alike as being a very sought after aspect of an academic programme. Another new aspect of this programme is the module ‘Communication for Professional Life’. As communication skills are generally deemed an integral element of enquiry-based learning, this module will prepare graduates for executive and leadership scenarios which require negotiation and persuasive expertise and ability with the written word.
