MATURE STUDENTS
If you are at least 23 years old on
the 1 January of the year of entry
to College, you are considered as
a mature applicant. All mature applicants who make an application to the College through the CAO for MI008 and are meeting the eligibility criteria, will be invited to attend for an interview and an Oral Irish test. Candidates are awarded a grade for their performance at the interview and an additional grade for the
Oral Irish test. The combined score determines the candidate’s place
on the order of merit list. Where places remain unfilled after the
list of successful first preference applicants has been exhausted, offers may be made to other applicants in order of preference
and in accordance with the order
of merit. Applicants who get a ‘fail’ grade in either the Interview or Oral Irish test will be eliminated from the competition. Applicants who have failed the Interview on two previous occasions are not eligible to re- apply. Mature applicants who have completed an interview and Oral Irish test will be contacted by the College to indicate whether or not they are being offered a place and all places will then be offered by the CAO.
