Once you have read everything on this page, especially the sections regarding deadlines, fees, holiday dates, have checked your status re visas and guarantors, and have chosen your preferred accommodation options, schedule and so on, you are ready to apply.

Applications can be completed online. If you are applying for a homestay - please note that the program application should be made AT LEAST 2 months in advance. Please note that the homestay search does not commence until Yamasa can confirm that tuition fees have been remitted. As homestays can be difficult to obtain sometimes (summer), please send proof of tuition payment as soon as possible.

The enrolment procedure differs slightly depending on whether you require a guarantor. If at any stage you do not know what to do next, or if you have any questions concerning either the enrollment process or the Institute and its programs, please do not hesitate to contact the Director of the International Office, Mr. Declan Murphy at Admissions
