QQI entrant requirements

QQI FET Entry

The University of Limerick has entry routes to first year of undergraduate degree courses for students who have achieved the relevant QQI Level 5 and 6 award.

Candidates will be ranked on the basis of their performance in that award.

Application Process

All applications for admission under the QQ entry pathway must be made through the Central Applications Office (CAO) - Central Applications Office

Minimum Entry Requirements

Certain QQI Level 5 major awards are acceptable in fulfilling the admission requirements for each course of study.

In all circumstances candidates must present the full award with a minimum credit value of 120 which must include a distinction in at least 5 component awards.

In addition to satisfying the minimum entry requirements, candidates must also satisfy the specific component award requirements as outlined on the CAO website. 

Transfers are accepted into most of our courses. However, there are some courses which do not accept transfer applications due to the structure of the course.
