Entry Requirements<br />
Mature students are those who are 23 years of age or older on 1 January of the year<br />
of application.<br />
Intending applicants should note that being over 23 years of age does not give an<br />
automatic exemption from the minimum entry requirements for any course. Please<br />
check the website for further details: www.ncad.ie/admissions/entry<br />
Intending students who do not hold the minimum entry requirements in the Leaving<br />
Certificate may matriculate on FETAC Level 5 (see prospectus or website for details)<br />
or may apply to be considered for matriculation on mature years.<br />
Such applications will be considered on an individual basis and criteria in addition<br />
to second level school examinations will be taken into account to establish their<br />
suitability for the course.<br />
The standard of portfolio work required from a mature applicant is the same as that<br />
required from other applicants. A leaflet on Portfolio Guidelines is available on<br />
request or can be downloaded from the Admissions pages of the website at<br />
www.ncad.ie.<br />
Mature students apply in the same way and at the same time as other applicants.<br />
All applicants to Year 1 courses, First Year (Core) AD111 and Industrial Design AD012,<br />
apply through CAO.<br />
