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 MI012 and are meeting the eligibility criteria, will be invited to attend for an interview. Candidates applying for MI012 will have part of their interview conducted through Irish. Candidates are awarded a grade
for their performance at the interview. 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 the interview 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 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.
