Combination of Leaving Certificate Results for Matriculation Registration Purposes


An applicant may normally combine the results of Leaving Certificate examina- tions obtained in different years for Matriculation Registration purposes. Tis concession applies to Matriculation Registration only; it does not apply to the calculation of points. However, it should be noted that students seeking to enter Medicine must meet the minimum entry requirements,


including (b) Acceptable Subjects


All subjects of the current Leaving Certificate examination are accepted for Matriculation Registration purposes, with the following exceptions and quali- fications:


(i) ‘Gaeilge – Bonnleibhéal’ (Irish – Foundation Level) will not be accepted for Matriculation Registration purposes;


(ii) ‘Mathematics Ordinary Alternative/ Foundation Level’ will be accepted for Matriculation Registration purposes, but not as a substitute for the subject Mathematics in programmes for which the subject Mathematics is currently an entry requirement.


Leaving Certificate points are not awarded for either of these subjects.


Combination of subjects not permitted


A Te subject ‘Physics and Chemistry’ may not be presented with either ‘Physics’ or ‘Chemistry’


A ‘Agricultural Economics’ may not be presented with ‘Economics’


A ‘Classical Studies’ may not be presented with ‘Latin’ or ‘Greek’.

Note: Bonus points for mathematics from 2012 for four year period: From 2012, for a four year period, 25 additional points will be awarded for a grade D3 or better in Leaving Certificate Honours Mathematics, where that subject is one of the six subjects being counted for points purposes.


Applicants’ performance in the Leaving Certificate examination is scored upon their best results in no more than six individual subjects taken in the Leaving Certificate examination of any one year.


4. A-Level Applicants UCD welcomes applicants presenting A-Level qualifications. Each year we have many students from Northern Ireland, Great Britain and further afield who enter on this basis.


(a) Eligibility Criteria for A-Level Applicants


Matriculation


SUBJECT ENTRY REQUIREMENT FOR BASIC ELIGIBILITY:


Grade C or better at GCSE or passes at A-Level are required in six recognised sub- jects. Two of those six subjects must be grade C or better at A-Level.


Subjects must include relevant UCD programme


entry requirements, www.ucd.ie/myucd/alevel for details.


(b) Acceptable Subjects Not all GCSE and A-Level subjects are recognised and some subjects may not be accepted in combination with one another. For further information and the list of the A-Level and subjects acceptable for matric- ulation, consult the entry requirements section of the NUI website: www.nui.ie. Students intending to present a subject not included in the list are advised to con- tact NUI or UCD Registry Admissions. Te results of Leaving Certificate and A-Level and GCSE examinations may not normally be combined for application purposes.

Tis does not preclude an intending appli- cant from presenting for school leaving examinations in two or more years; in this event, the choice of year for scoring pur- poses will be such as to ensure that each applicant is credited with the maximum possible score.


Te one-year scoring restriction does not affect the separate matriculation require- ments of the NUI, i.e. it is still possible to complete matriculation requirements over more than one year. However, for admis- sion to Medicine, applicants must achieve both the required subject grades and the points in the same sitting.


Te subjects and combinations of subjects not permitted for matriculation also apply when computing an applicant’s points score.
