    Hi, I would love to get into a college/uni to do some IT course but I do not do a second language (Spanish or French) because of dyspraxia (I do a class with that helps me with my homework and helps me revise for tests) so could I get into most college/unis or am I screwed? :( BTW I am in 3rd year

    Most of the IT's etc won't find that a problem

    Even the Universities (NUI, UCD, Trinity) etc will give exemptions in most cases.

    All colleges will have some kind of disability/access support team - don't be afraid to contact them and they can tell you everything you need to know.

    Plus, some universities (DCU for one) don't care if you have a second language, or irish.

    Most certainly, if you want to. :)

    What BuffyBot said.

    Colleges are exceptionally supportive of students and their varying needs.

    Here and here are just two examples off the top of my head for two colleges. I am sure if you look at any college/university website you will find similar programs.
