The Institute offers courses at Higher Certificate, Ordinary Degree, Higher Degree and post graduate level and all courses are designed with a strong practical orientation which enhances employability. The Access Office in GMIT was established in 1999 and the Access Officer co-ordinates an alternative entry programme for mature students, in addition to the provision of supports and services required by mature students while attending GMIT. INSTITUTES OF TECHNOLOGY Pre-entry Activities and Supports The Access Officer at GMIT currently co-ordinates a one year accredited Foundation Certificate for adults in both Galway and Castlebar. The aim of the Foundation Certificate is to provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to undertake a full-time third level course of study. It is a recognised entry route onto the Higher Certificate, Ordinary Degree and Higher Degree programmes at GMIT. The FETAC Foundation Certificate is suitable for individuals who are some time away from education, or who left school with little or no formal qualifications and would like the opportunity to pursue a full-time third level qualification. There are no specific entry requirements for the course, but students must be 21 years of age or over on January 1st of the year of application. The Access Office at GMIT is also involved in two Joint Foundation Courses in Engineering and Science and Business Studies with NUI Galway. These programmes are also pre-entry preparation programmes and students that successfully complete the course may progress onto full-time courses at either NUI Galway or GMIT. The Access Officer at GMIT provides Adults wishing to apply for a place on fulltime third level courses at GMIT with one to one support and guidance with the application process and funding applications.
