QQI (FURTHER EDUCATION) APPLICANTS
If you have a relevant QQI/HETAC/BTEC qualification, you can use this to apply to a degree programme at Maynooth University. This section outlines the qualifications and other requirements for students who hold or expect to hold QQI Certificates, and who wish to pursue full time, undergraduate degree programmes at Maynooth University.
Any QQI award, with a minimum of five distinctions, fulfils the minimum entry requirements for admission to the University; however, due to the high demand for our courses, a higher number of distinctions is required for entry in many instances. Consult
www.maynoothuniversity. ie/howtoapply for specific course entry requirements.
HOW TO APPLY - QQI APPLICANTS Applicants should first check that they fulfil the requirements for the particular course they wish to apply for, as detailed on the website. It is important to note that only very specific QQI course codes qualify for entry to each individual degree programme. Please refer to our website for details of these course codes. In particular please note the scoring scheme as detailed below.
Application is made through the Central Applications Office (CAO).
Application forms may be obtained online (
www.cao.ie) or by contacting:
Central Applications Office, Tower House, Eglinton Street, Galway. + 353 91 509800
There is a normal fee for applications received on or before 5.15 pm, 1st February 2019 (apply by January 20th for a reduced fee). Late applications are accepted up to and including 1st May 2019 on payment of an additional fee. Applicants who wish to study Community and Youth Work (MH116 or MH802) must apply before the 1st February 2019.
THE FOLLOWING RULES APPLY: > A major award must be achieved. Component certificates do not suffice.
> In some instances the University requires achievement of specific grades, and/or specified components e.g. five distinctions, including a distinction in Mathematics or Statistics.
> While the major award may be achieved over a number of sittings, for scoring purposes, results achieved in a SINGLE SITTING are counted, i.e. between 1st August – 31st July.
Add all of the component scores up to a cumulative credit value of 120. When adding up these scores begin with distinctions, then merits, then passes.
Finally, multiply the total by 13 and divide by 12 to give the overall score (maximum 390).
The scoring is applied by the CAO. For the most current list of linked awards and specialised components visit our website. You will also find other information in relation to QQI entry pathways.
Changes made to those listed below will be implemented in the next admissions cycle, through the CAO, where possible.
Please Note: some degree programmes have additional minimum entry requirements. See page 211 for more information.
Where this occurs, but the QQI centre offers the program over more than one year, it is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that their QQI centre applies to QQI for a major award where courses are taken over more than one year.
QQI SCORING This scoring scheme only applies where all the requirements for the major award are met, i.e. when the named component awards specified have been achieved to a minimum of 120 credits.
Each component is given a score based on the credit value of the component and the weighting of the grade achieved.
Most component awards have a credit value of 15 (the possible component credit values are 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30).
The following weightings will apply to the grades achieved: pass=1, merit=2, distinction=3.
To calculate a component score, multiply the credit value of the component by the weighting for the grade achieved.
