Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • Business Analytics requires an Irish Level 8 honours degree with at least Second Class Honours Grade 2, or assessed equivalent, including a quantitative module.
  • UCC may consider applicants through recognition of prior learning with three years of relevant industry experience and supporting role evidence; this is discretionary, not automatic entry.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • UCC's standard postgraduate IELTS Academic requirement is 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each skill; its course page directs applicants to that policy.
  • Exceptions exist for other programmes.
  • Check accepted evidence and the two-year test validity rule for the intended start.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • The live course page lists 6 September 2027 for the 12-month full-time MSc. Earlier search-cache references to 7 September 2026 describe the previous cycle.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The 2027 course accepts non-EU applications until places fill, with 15 June as the stated latest closing date.
  • Apply early; rolling admission can close before that date.
  • The published application process also requests a CV and motivation/readiness information.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • The 2027/28 international schedule and current course page list EUR 23,314 for non-EU Business Analytics, full-time, one year.
  • Follow the schedule and offer for any applicable additional charges; do not add the old 2026/27 capitation figure without checking the new-year fee breakdown.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • The College of Business and Law's published 2026/27 international taught-master's merit scheme gives a 20% tuition reduction for first-class-equivalent results and an accepted offer, without a separate application.
  • That award page is explicitly 2026/27; extension to September 2027 was not verified and must not be assumed.
