    No offence, but maybe take some written English classes first, if you want to study here at Masters level.

    If I were you I'd make contact with the institution you'd like to study in. They would be the best people to advise you, I'd say. Best of luck with it.

    Don't treat the language as a barrier, by the way. You can obviously express yourself well. I just needs a bit of tidying up to study at that level. I've a good friend who arrived from Spain some years ago and recently graduated from Trinity with a Masters in psychology. He didn't have a single word of English when he arrived here first.

    A level 7 degree is known as a Pass degree in the Irish Framework of Qualifications as detailed by the HETAC, Higher Education training and Certification authority.

    A level 8 degree is known as an Honours degree.

    A minimum of 3 yrs study is needed for the level 7 degree and 4 yrs for the level 8, honours degree in most disciplnes, Arts degrees tend to be shorter than science or business or Engineering.

    A masters equates to a level 9 on the framework of qualifications and a Phd, equates to a level 10, the maximum that this framework goes to.

    You would probably have to do another yrs study to get the level 8 degree and then a further 1 and a half to 2 yrs to get a Masters depending on they type. There are taught Masters and Masters earned through dissertation or research, one takes longer than the other, so I have been told.
