PATHWAYS TO UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION Foundation courses are a great way for young adults to enter Universities in Ireland. They are especially appropriate for students who have received their high school education outside Ireland. Foundation courses are also known as pathway, preparation or pre-university programmes. They give access to excellent universities and undergraduate degrees in Ireland and in the UK. You can choose from a wide range of degree subjects in many excellent and prestigious Universities and Colleges. The foundation course acts as a bridge between your current qualifications and university undergraduate entry requirements. It fills academic gaps, improves your English, familiarises you with Irish life and culture, and prepares you to succeed and excel at university. Rockbrook International offers a complete Pathways Programme for international students in five established universities/colleges in Dublin, Ireland. We will find your accommodation, collect you at the airport, introduce you to your host family, and do everything we can to make your arrival in Ireland trouble-free and enjoyable. We then organise weekly Saturday trips, cultural visits and fun activities. We offer career guidance and personal advice and help at every moment of your stay. At the beginning of term we organise a special ‘breakfast morning’ so all our international students can meet each other and make new friends. Moving to a new country can be difficult and at times stressful. We will be there to support you at every step on your journey to success, and help to make it all a wonderful experience.

Foundation Programmes – A Great Pathway to University
One way to enter University
in Ireland is through a
Foundation Programme.
Students who successfully complete a
recognised Foundation Programme
qualify directly for a very wide range of
university degree programmes.
(A few professional degrees have extra
requirements, but these are
exceptional).
Foundation Programmes are generally
for an academic year, September to May.
A January start may also be possible.
This pathway into Irish Universities is
particularly suitable for students who
have not come through the Irish
education system, coming to Ireland
perhaps after high school in another
country.
Some Foundation Programmes also
provide a pathway into Universities in
the United Kingdom and Around the
World.
They are also a pathway into other Third
Level Colleges in Ireland, which provide
education and training for many other
professions.
A Foundation Programme is also a
great way to experience Ireland for
the first time, improve one’s English,
make new friends, and be better
prepared to succeed and prosper at
University.

THE COLLEGES
Studying in an Irish College
An essential part of the Pathways Programme are the Colleges and Universities. No two institutions
are exactly the same. There are many factors to consider when choosing a college and we will help
you make the best choice for your interests and talents.
Foundation courses usually combine general topics with some specialisation, directed towards your
preferred field of study at university. For example you might choose between Science-Engineering or
Business-Sociology topics during the Foundation Year, to prepare you better for your choice of
degree.
We have partnership arrangements with the best Colleges and Universities in Dublin.

IN IRELANDLIVING WITH A HOST FAMILY
A very attractive feature of our
programmes is that students stay with
local Irish host families. They are treated
as a member of the family and made to
feel welcome in the family home. They
may be given small jobs to do, like making
their bed, tidying their room, helping with
setting the table for meals. They must
follow family "rules“, typical in any family
with teenagers.
Our families are carefully chosen and
regularly visited by Rockbrook staff. They
are selected based on their family values,
their friendliness, trustworthiness,
compassion and on their ethical principles.
While the majority of our host families are
Catholic, not all are actively practicing and
some are non-religious.
The host family must live in a comfortable and
safe environment and be able to provide for all
the student’s basic needs. Typically the family will
have children living in the house but some may
be retired with their children no longer living at
home. We will place students with families living
on a good transport routes (bus or tram) so
accessing the college will be easy. The student
will have their own bedroom. Many Irish families
have a pet, usually a dog or cat. If you have any
special requests, or for example, you are allergic
to pets, please let us know.
We want our students to feel at home in their
host families. The host family is one of the most
important elements of a student’s stay. Let us
know the type of family you prefer and we will
find you the best option!

Page 14 PRE UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION PROGRAMMESTUDENT SUPPORT
Every student on our Pathways programme is
assigned an international student advisor. Our
experienced team of advisors are there to help
students settle-into life in Ireland and with any
personal matters that may require attention.
As part of the Pathways Programme we offer
the highest level of student support. The
advisor will keep in regular contact via
WhatsApp etc. and will meet with the student
every month, sometimes at the college, other
times on Saturdays in Rockbrook School.
Advisors can also be contacted by parents,
especially if they have concerns or worries.
Our advisors are adults who have experience
dealing with students. They are from Ireland
or have been living in Ireland for many years
so they are used to the cultural differences
and know the way of life here. Our advisors
are friendly, trustworthy and reliable and they
offer essential support throughout the year.

IN IRELANDOTHER CONSIDERATIONS
CAMBRIDGE EXAM
The English classes on Saturday mornings in Rockbrook cover general grammar and conversation. At certain
periods during the year the classes will focus on Cambridge exams preparation. These exams have two parts:
an oral test (interview) and a grammar test. All candidates receive a certificate with two grades; one for their
spoken English and one for their proficiency in grammar. Both are graded according to the Common European
Framework.
The Cambridge examination they take will depend on their level at the time of the exam; PET, First Certificate,
Advanced and Proficiency. It requires a lot of preparation and hard work. It is an Exam that is known
worldwide so it has added value. The exam usually takes place in May.
HOLIDAYS
In every academic year there are holiday periods and mid-term breaks. The most important holiday periods
are Christmas and Easter. All students should return home for the Christmas holidays. The mid-term breaks
vary from colleges to college and are usually a week long in duration. There are no classes during these breaks
but students are expected to use this time productively and continue to study and work away on course
assignments.
Rockbrook will organise one full day excursion during each secondary school mid-term break. We will bring
the students to visit a place of cultural or historic importance, like a castle or museum. If the weather permits
we will organise an outdoor activity to a place of natural beauty.
MEDICAL INSURANCE
All Non-EU students must have a valid private health insurance. This is mandatory. Details of this insurance
must be sent to Rockbrook before the day of arrival.
All EU students must come with the European Health Insurance Card. This covers any emergency treatment
the students receive while in Ireland (doctors’ visits, hospital visits etc.) They can also bring a private insurance
cover if they wish (e.g. Mondial Assistance) although these are generally more awkward as a fee has to be paid
that can be claimed back at a later date.
BOOKS & COURSE MATERIAL
Students will be expected to acquire any textbooks and other materials needed for their course.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport fares are the responsibility of the student. In Ireland all students can avail of cheaper rates by
applying for a Student Leap Card. This can be done through the college where they study. This card can be
used on all buses, trams and urban trains. The card has to be ‘topped-up’ every few weeks to make sure
adequate funds are available.
There are also many city bike rental schemes where student’s can avail of cheap bikes for short term trips (30-
40 minutes).

Price guidelines
The total price for the Foundation Programme will range from Euro 25,000 to 34,500 for the
academic year.
The exact price depends mainly on the choice of College and course, and on the length of stay.
This price range is for the complete programme (including academic fees, accommodation, and
the full range of support services). It assumes 34 weeks of accommodation, which is typical.
(In other words, you should add to the College fee about Euro 14,500 for accommodation and
other expenses.)
When your choices and preferences have been finalised we will let you know an exact price.
*Note: the guarantee of a place in the University naturally depends on achieving the right standard in the
Foundation Programme, which in turn assumes an appropriate level of study and progress during the year.
