To be considered a mature student applicant, you must be 23 years of age or older on 1st January in the year in which you wish to begin study. You must also qualify as an EU applicant. The Mature Student Office works with mature students studying on full-time degree programmes. [Back to top]
UL offers a wide range of interesting degree programmes, all of which have an excellent graduate employment record. UL also has a very attractive and welcoming campus, with state-of-the-art teaching, sports and other facilities. UL openly welcomes mature students into its degree programmes and encourages your full participation in university life. [Back to top]
As a mature applicant, you can apply to any degree programme offered by UL. Generally speaking, you don't need prior qualifications (e.g your Leaving Certificate) or specific experience to apply. However some programmes in UL may have specific requirements e.g. Engineering programmes will need you to have higher level Leaving Cert maths. To view UL's full list of degree programmes, including specific entry requirements for mature students, see the Undergraduate Prospectus 2013-14.
