Unlike other degree courses, applicants do not need to wait for CAO points as they can apply directly. Shortlisted applicants will be invited for an interview when they will be required to show evidence of their eligibility based on the information provided in the application process. There are no fees attached to the first year of these courses in the Education and Training Boards. In subsequent years, the normal Higher Education registration fees will apply. Applicants for these courses are eligible to apply for a SUSI grant. Further information can be found here: https://www.susi.ie/.
This collaborative development between Atlantic Technological University (ATU), Donegal ETB, Mayo Sligo Leitrim ETB and Galway Roscommon ETB follows a government request to develop a multi-campus award that integrates the delivery of higher education in the FET sector to widen participation to individuals and communities who would not traditionally consider third-level education as a viable or realistic option for them. It increases the number of locations regionally where students can begin their studies, enhances flexibility through providing several programme paths and widens access through more flexible entry requirements.
Initial applications for the tertiary programmes will close on the 25th August 2025. Late applications will be considered where there are still places available after all eligible candidates have been considered.
