FilmEU is pleased to announce the introduction of an early direct entry application process for Non-EU applicants to DL857, BA (Hons) Film: Pathfinder Joint International Programme, beginning with the September 2026 intake.
This new process makes it easier for international applicants to apply on time—no matter when your school year finishes.
In the past, the Irish application cycle didn’t line up with many global academic calendars, meaning students often had to choose another option before applications even opened.
Now, with this earlier round, you’ll have the chance to:
- Apply in line with your academic year
- Secure your place sooner and plan ahead with confidence
- Have more time to prepare your student visa and move abroad
- Join a vibrant international community of film students across Europe
Key Dates for Early Applications:
- Applications Open: 1 October 2025
- Portfolio Submission Window: 1–20 November 2025
- Interviews: 10–11 December 2025
- Offers Released: From 15 December (conditional and full offers available)
How to Apply:
You can apply directly online through this link.
