ILSC Dublin Sneak Peak

Before you arrive

Student Digital Setup Guide

Set up your ILSC digital account and your personal ILSC email account. This will give you access to Microsoft 365, with all the best applications like Teams, Word, Excel and your own Outlook inbox.

Visit the Digital Setup Guide for step-by-step instructions.

Online English Assessment

In the four weeks before your Start Date, you will receive an invitation to complete the ILSC Online English Assessment. The test will assess your English reading, writing, grammar and speaking skills and will take about 60-75 minutes to complete. We use these test results so we can make sure to place you in a class that is appropriate for your level. After your first week of class, if you feel you were placed in a class that does not match your English level, our Academic Team will re-assess you and, if needed, will move you to a class better suited to your English level

Arriving at the Airport

All flights to Dublin come through the Dublin Airport, which is about 7km north of the city. There are buses available to travel to the city centre, as well as taxis and rideshare.

Here are some transport options from the airport. 

Airport Pickup – by request

If you are staying in our accommodation, homestay or student residences or not, you can request airport pickup. A private transport company staff member will meet you at the airport and take you to your accommodation. Remember to provide your flight details in advance.

Orientation – info session

On your Start Date (usually a Monday), you are required to attend your school Orientation. You will be able to meet other students, the academic team and the campus support. You can ask questions and get all the information you need for a successful study experience. 

Visit the ILSC Dublin Orientation Page for more information.
