I will be starting first year in September in a science related course .
Can I apply to sit the interview being a student not studying Irish in college ?

It's not €500, it's that you can get a grant or reduction of €500 on your rent for the year. So Aras Uí Thuama is €500 cheaper than the rest of University Hall.

You can apply if you're not a student of Irish, doesn't matter what you study. Keep in mind though that even with a reduction of €500, Uni Hall won't be the cheapest option.
