Applications from QQI / FETAC award holders are made through the CAO and all relevant closing dates and conditions apply.
If you have any full QQI /FETAC level 5 or level 6 award, you are eligible to apply for a place on our Ordinary Degree (level 7 award) course or on any of our Honours Degree (level 8 award) courses.
