Entry Requirements<br />
Applications for mature students are treated as ‘non-standard’. Mature applicants<br />
need not have the normal minimum entry requirements, but the Institute will<br />
admit only those who have a reasonable prospect of<br />
completing their chosen courses of study.<br />
Applicants must be 23 years of age on or by the 1st<br />
January of the calendar year in which he/she seeks<br />
admission.<br />
Mature students should complete the CAO<br />
application form. Interviews are held for all<br />
mature student applicants in May.<br />
Mature Student Population<br />
The numbers of mature students attending WIT<br />
has increased steadily in recent years. Currently<br />
we have 390 (i.e. approx. 8%) mature students<br />
registered in full-time undergraduate CAO<br />
designated courses in WIT. We welcome and<br />
actively encourage mature student application<br />
and participation and we are committed to<br />
further increasing this cohort of our student<br />
population.<br />
