Entry requirements

Students will be required to have completed 120 ECTS, Level 6 Certificate in Culinary Arts, or equivalent. Eligible applications will be ranked on the basis of academic merit. The University's policy in relation to the recognition of prior learning (RPL) applies. All programmes are delivered through English, therefore, a good knowledge of the language is essential. For all applicants applying for this programme who do NOT have English as their first language or who have NOT completed a major academic award equivalent to a minimum of level 4 on the Irish NFQ, that is delivered and assessed through the medium of English, are required to review the minimum criteria @ https://mtu.ie/international/non-eu/kerry-campus/ What is RPL? Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
