Minimum Entry Requirements
Applicants under 23 must meet the matriculation (registration) requirements of the National University of Ireland (NUI) as follows: Leaving Certificate or equivalent with a minimum of two recognised subjects at Higher Level Grade C3 and four at Ordinary or Higher Level Grade D3. In addition, the Leaving Certificate subjects required to satisfy Faculty requirements are as shown in the table above.
These subjects may be presented at either Higher or Ordinary Level (additional requirements for individual courses/degrees are provided below).
One Grade E on a Higher Course at Leaving Certificate will be accepted if the candidate has amongst his/her other subjects three Grade C3 awards on Higher Course Papers, or at least one Grade B3 and one Grade C3 on Higher Course Papers at Leaving Certificate.
The subject Mathematics (Leaving Certificate - Foundation Level) will be accepted for matriculation purposes, but not as a substitute for the subject ‘Mathematics’ in faculties or courses for which the subject ‘Mathematics’ is currently an entry requirement. Entry points will not be awarded for this subject.
The Leaving Certificate subject ‘Ghaeilge - Bonnleibhéal’ (Irish - Foundation Level) will not be accepted for matriculation or points purposes.

Competitive Requirements
Applicants are placed in order of merit based on the following points system and places are allocated according to their highest CAO preference to which their points entitle them.The University distinguishes between applicants on equal points scores by appending to each score a randomly-generated number. The combined score/random number is the final determinant of position in order of merit.
Points System
Leaving Certificate Subjects
| Grade | Higher Level | Ordinary Level |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | 100 | 60 |
| A2 | 90 | 50 |
| B1 | 85 | 45 |
| B2 | 80 | 40 |
| B3 | 75 | 35 |
| C1 | 70 | 30 |
| C2 | 65 | 25 |
| C3 | 60 | 20 |
| D1 | 55 | 15 |
| D2 | 50 | 10 |
| D3 | 45 | 5 |
All subjects carry equal points which are awarded for the six best subjects in any one year, in the Leaving Certificate. These do not have to include subjects required for matriculation. Matriculation and course requirements may be satisfied by an accumulation of subjects over more than one year.
