Application for Year 1 entry

 

Holders of Level 6 Higher Certificate awards, with Merit grade, may apply for first year entry to the University’s omnibus Arts (MH101) and Science (MH201) degrees.

Applications are also considered from applicants who have undertaken at least one year of a Level 8 (Honours Degree) or two years of a Level 7 (Ordinary Degree). Applicants must attain at least a H2.2 standard for transfer and in some cases a H2.1, or a H1, result may be required, based on criteria such as points received at the Leaving Certificate, subjects taken, course pursued and the competition for places.

Applicants should note that students taking first year again, having studied at Level 8, and 2 years of a Level 7, are not entitled to the Free Fees Scheme for the years that they are re-taking. However, applicants transferring on the basis of a Level 6 award are entitled to avail of the Free Fees Scheme.

Application must be made through the CAO before May 1st. Late applications may be made to the CAO up to July 22nd for students currently registered in a HEI institution, who received their place through the CAO. The CAO application form must be stamped by the Admissions Office of their institution. In each case, applicants must also apply on the University’s direct transfer application form, before 7th July, (link below) and attach certified copies of transcripts of qualifications. An application fee is not required if the applicant is also applying to the CAO.

Arts (MH101) – Psychology
Please note that applicants transferring to NUI Maynooth, who have studied Psychology previously, and have lower points than the MH101 Arts entry points in the previous year, are not permitted to register in First Year Psychology. This provision is due to the quota of Psychology places in Second Year.
