Appendix 7: Foundation Course/Access Partnerships with VEC 3. Trinity Access Programmes Liberal Arts Courses for Mature Students The Liberal Arts courses, run in Pearse College Crumlin, and Plunket College Whitehall in conjunction with the Trinity Access Programmes, are one-year preuniversity courses aimed at mature students, who for financial, social or cultural reasons have not yet realised their full educational potential. This partnership between TCD and the CDVEC Colleges was established in 2004. Entry Requirements You must be at least 22 years of age on 1st January in year you apply. There are no standard educational requirements, such as the Leaving Certificate or Aptitude Test.

By these means the student will have to demonstrate a real desire to pursue a third level course and that he/she has the ability to do so. Students can apply for these courses on the same application as for the Trinity College Foundation Course for Mature Students. For application deadline please contact the colleges listed below. Course Objectives To provide the students with an opportunity to experience the satisfaction that can be gained from learning in an academic environment To increase the student’s vocabulary and knowledge to the level expected of an undergraduate student To build up the student’s confidence in his/her academic abilities To equip the students with the skills that they will need to benefit from and participate in a third level educational course To assist the students find the 3rd level course that best suits his/her abilities and interests To prepare the student to compete equally for entry to third level.
