Entry Criteria
The courses in this prospectus are aimed at a wide range of abilities. Please refer to the entry requirements to assess if the course is right for you. A number of courses have NO specific entry requirements.
Where entry requirements are specified, these are the MINIMUM qualifications. Where it is reasonably expected that the number of applicants holding the minimum entry criteria will exceed the number of places available, then additional entry criteria may be applied. Information about the particular selection criteria and processes that may be used can be obtained from the relevant Course Co-ordinator.
We welcome applicants who do not have the specified qualifications but who can demonstrate, by virtue of experience and/or other studies, they are capable of coping with the demands of the course.
Unless otherwise stated, tuition is in English therefore applicants whose first language is not English, may be required to demonstrate (by qualification or test) a level of competence in written and oral English.
Please note that, where insufficient numbers of students are recruited, we may
be required to withdraw the course or a specific course element. If you are
unsure about the choice and level of a course, please feel free to avail of our
Advice and Guidance service at tel: 028 9026 5333.
