Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT)

No direct requirement published

IADT's own international-students page confirms non-EU/non-EEA applicants (including US applicants) apply directly rather than through the CAO, submitting a passport, CV, academic transcripts, English-language proof, and a 400-600-word personal statement -- creative programmes additionally require a portfolio or other selection evidence. No SAT/ACT score, GPA figure, or any other standardized-test component appears anywhere on the page; this is a genuine no-test-path admissions process, not a failed search. Animation was chosen since IADT's National Film School is a genuinely distinctive, internationally-known program, and IADT is the first specialist art/design/technology institute in this list -- a different Irish institution type from its existing universities, Technological Universities, and private colleges (NCI/DBS).
