h) Foundation Level Mathematics


A pass in foundation level mathematics at B2 level or higher will be accepted as meeting the minimum entry requirements for programmes which currently require a minimum entry level of D3 in ordinary Leaving Certificate Mathematics, with the exception of engineering (including all programmes at Letterfrack) and nursing.


Where foundation level Mathematics is accepted as a passing subject, at a minimum B2 grade, the following points scoring system will apply:


A1 A2 B1 20


15 10


B2 5


Note:


Applicants are advised that, while foundation level Mathematics may meet the minimum mathematics requirement for entry to certain academic programmes, some employers require Mathematics at ordinary level or higher to meet minimum educational attainment for some positions.

A Higher E in Mathematics meets the minimum OD3 Maths requirement on all programmes.
