Entry Requirements New Leaving Certificate Grading Scale and revised Common Points Scale The Department of Education and Skills introduced a new Leaving Certificate grading scale in 2017. As part of this process, it was agreed to change how the Leaving Certificate examinations are graded, using fewer broader grade bands. The 14-point grading scale in operation prior to 2017 has been replaced by an 8-point scale as follows: New Grades % Marks The scale now has 8 grades, the highest grade H1 / O1 90 – 100 is a Grade 1; the lowest H2 / O2 80 < 90 grade is a Grade 8. The H3 / O3 70 < 80 highest seven grades 1-7 H4 / O4 H5 / O5 H6 / O6 H7 / O7 H8 / O8 60 < 70 50 < 60 40 < 50 30 < 40 0 < 30 divide the marks range 100% to 30% into seven equal grade bands 10% wide, with a grade 8 being awarded for percentage marks of less than 30%. The grades at higher level and ordinary level are distinguished by prefixing the grade with H or O respectively, giving H1-H8 at higher level, and O1-O8 at ordinary level. Leaving Certificate For students with Leaving Certificate qualifications, the minimum entry requirements for entry to the first year of programmes are as follows, however, applicants should also check for the specific requirements given on each programme page. Higher Certificate (Level 6) programmes You must have 5 O6/H7 grades or higher at Ordinary level in five Leaving Certificate subjects.
