International Students

Go to help centre >

IOB is proud to support many international members who are studying our UCD accredited programmes. We aim to provide a supportive environment for all students, and hope that the information on this page will provide guidance on essential information as you commence your academic journey, whilst studying part-time living in Ireland or overseas.

Programme Withdrawl Policy

IOB recognises that for a variety of reasons a student may need to withdraw from their programme and from being a member of IOB. It further recognises that in some cases a student may, at a later date, apply for re-admission to the programme. This policy/procedure document is intended to:

  • Provide students who are thinking of withdrawing from their studies with important information about what it means to withdraw, including where they can seek further support and advice.

  • Support students and staff by clarifying the procedures for programme withdrawal and applying for re- admission.
