Access Project 2010/11

This year students must complete a HEAR application form to be considered for entry through the Access route. When you fill in your CAO form you will be asked if you wish to apply through the HEAR scheme. When you tick the box you will be taken to your online HEAR application form.

You will answer a series of questions on your family income, the school you attend and a series of other questions that will allow us to assess your eligibility for the Access programme. remember you must also include us in your CAO choices. So if you think you qualify for entry through the Access programme and are attending any second level school please contact us for further information or click here. Your HEAR application must be completed by February 1st 2010. Your supporting documentation must be forwarded to CAO by April 1st 2010

Please note that late applications will not be accepted

Students who fulfill HEAR eligibility criteria must meet with our minimum entry requirements and also come within at least 60 points of the CAO requirement for 2010. Places are awarded on a competitive basis therefore it is possible that not all students who achieve within 60 points will be offered a place.

Our minimum Academic entry Requirements are as follows:

B.Ed:

Leaving Cert examination(s) with Grade C3 Higher Level in not less than three subjects, Grade D3 in three other subjects. C3 in higher-level Irish. At least D3 in ordinary/higher level Maths and C3 in ordinary level English or D3 Higher Level. Students must also achieve within a 60 points range of the 2010 CAO points requirement for the B. Ed.

B.A:

Leaving Certificate with Grade C3 in two Higher Level subjects and grade D3 in four ordinary, or higher Level subjects (which must include Mathematics and either English or Irish). The college does not award points for Leaving Cert. Mathematics taken at Ordinary Alternative or Foundation level but will accept these for matriculation purposes. Students must also achieve within a 60 points range of the 2010 CAO points requirement for the B. A.

N.B. These are minimum entry requirements and do not guarantee a place through the Access Project.
