Entry requirements

Application to the BSc programme is via the Higher Certificate in Information Technology and Cybersecurity. The first two stages of these programmes are identical, and progression to the BSc programme after the Higher Cert is a very straightforward process.

  • Non-Standard Applicants: Mature Students, FETAC (now QQI) Level 5 applicants are particularly welcome.
  • Standard Applicants: Leaving Certificate Grade O6/H7 (pre. 2017, D3 Ordinary Level) in five subjects to include Mathematics and either English or Irish. 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.
