Regarding to the Accommodation, this is what we can provide to the International students:

Accommodation for the duration of course (English Language & IFY) can be booked in advance. The accommodation options available to English language learners and IFY around the campus are

•   Homestay
•   On Campus Self-Catering
•   Off Campus Self-Catering

Homestay

Homestay accommodation is when a student stays with a local family. Living with a local family helps students to settle in to life in Ireland. Students feel like part of a family and live in a safe, comfortable Irish family home. Staying with an Irish host family allows students to learn about the Irish way of life, Irish culture and will give them lots of opportunities to practise their English.

Our host families are carefully selected, individually inspected and continually monitored. They offer accommodation in comfortable and friendly homes either within walking distance or a bus ride away from the University. Only one student of each nationality is placed in a family unless students request otherwise.

The following facilities are available to students who stay in homestay:

•   Single room or double room or ensuite room with a comfortable bed, a good supply of quality bedclothes and weekly change of bed linen
•   Laundry taken care of by host or reasonable access to laundry facilities allowed to student
•   Space for clothes storage
•   Table and chair in the bedroom for private study or access at all times to another room with a table and chair
•   Adequate lighting and heating
•   Free access to bathroom and bath or shower daily
•   A clean and well maintained house

Homestays can be booked for the first number of weeks or for the full length of the course.

There are two types of homestay to choose from:

Traditional Homestay

This type of homestay includes the meals (Halal food).

Self-Catering Homestay

In a Self-Catering Homestay (limited availability) the family does not provide meals for the student. Instead s/he has access to all cooking facilities and looks after his/her own meals.

On Campus Self Catering

The Universities has a number of attractive and modern self-catering student villages on campus. Each apartment consists of a communal kitchen and sitting room and has either 4 or 6 bedrooms. All bedrooms are spacious single rooms and every student has his/her own bedroom, bathroom and study area.

On campus self-catering accommodation facilities include a laundrette, village shop, electric heating, cable TV, a prepaid card telephone, a computer link to the Internet via the university/college network and 24 hour security with the village manager in residence.

During the academic year, campus accommodation is usually only available for long stay students. However, during the summer, campus accommodation is available for both long stay and short stay students.

Off Campus Self Catering

Self-catering shared student apartments are also available off campus for Summer Programme students as well as limited availability for long term students outside of this time. Please contact the AFA Consultancy for further information.

I hope to facilitate a working relationship between the University of Baghdad and the Irish universities to bring all students (undergraduate & postgraduate level) to do part of their studies in Ireland.
