Hide-Honours Degree (NFQ Level 8)
Applicants must achieve a pass in the Leaving Certificate or equivalent examinations obtaining two H5 and four O6/ H7 grades. Candidates are required to obtain a minimum of O6/H7 in English or Gaeilge and mathematics.
Please Note: that a minimum grade of F2 in foundation level mathematics fulfils the minimum entry requirements in mathematics for the following programmes:
• TL831 Bachelor of Business (Honours);
• TL881 Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Social Care;
• TL880 Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Early Childhood Care and Education.
Common Bonus Points Scale For Higher Level Mathematics
A bonus of 25 points will continue to be awarded to applicants who achieve a grade H6 or above in higher level (HL) mathematics. This means that the maximum cumulative LC points total will increase from 600 to 625 (existing maximum points plus bonus points).
Formula:
• All students presenting H6 or above in HL mathematics will have 25 points added to their score for mathematics;
• The six highest subject points scores will then be counted to achieve a cumulative points score, as is normal practice. The bonus points will only be relevant in cases where the subject HL mathematics (including bonus points) is scored as one of the candidate’s six best subjects for points purposes. Consequently, if HL mathematics (cumulative points score) is not among these six subjects, the bonus points will not be included in the total points score. Bonus points will be awarded irrespective of the year in which the examinations were taken.
Other Requirements
Because both the Level 7 and Level 8 courses involve vigorous physical activity, eligible candidates will need medical clearance. First year students are assessed shortly after registration for their swimming ability. Swim ability is a criterion used to determine suitability for the Education in Aquatics stream.
Please also note that if you sustain injuries that impact your physical engagement with the programme, this may affect your ability to continue on the programme and / or to progress. Garda vetting is also mandatory. See Page 138 for further information.
Garda Vetting (national Vetting Bureau (children And Vulernable Persons Act 2012)
The Institute provides a number of programmes where students are required to do a placement as a mandatory part of the programme. To ensure the protection of the public and to justify public trust and confidence, the Institute is committed to ensuring that only suitable candidates are allowed to undertake work placements which involve contact with children or vulnerable adults. To ensure that only suitable students are sent on work placement, the Institute requires students registering on these programmes to complete a Garda vetting application form (NBV2).
Satisfactory Garda vetting is a mandatory part of registration for these programmes. Failure to obtain satisfactory Garda vetting will result in deregistration. Any offence and/or convictions arising after the student has been registered must be disclosed to the Institute immediately. The Institute reserves right to review the registration status of a student in light of additional information received subsequent to registration. Additional courses may be included each year at the discretion of the Institute and the nature of the work placement. Please review our Garda vetting policy at the following address: +http://www.ittralee.ie/en/GardaVetting PolicyandProcedure.pdf

Hide-The Institute welcomes applications from persons who will be 23 years of age and over on the 1st of January of the proposed year of entry and who wish to be admitted as a mature student. The Institute reserves a minimum of 5% of all places for mature applicants. Mature applicants should apply to the CAO before 1st February. Each mature applicant is considered on an individual basis by the Institute, usually by an aptitude test or written assessment and/or interview. These are normally held in May each year.
Mature applicants are not required to have a leaving certificate or the minimum entry points. However, applicants should include documentation in relation to any courses that they have undertaken at second level (Junior and Leaving Certificate) as well as any professional/hobby courses that they may have taken. Applicants are strongly encouraged to include details of all courses that they have completed in the past, as well as providing any information that may reflect their preference choices (i.e. work experience/motivation/ goals, etc.). These qualifications will be taken into account, along with their personal statement, as part of the assessment. Note: Mature applicants may be considered on their Leaving Certificate results, if they reach the previous year’s cut-off points for the programme(s) that they have indicated.
When completing the CAO application form, those applying as mature students should tick the mature box on page 3 of the application form and complete the relevant details on page 4. Mature applicants from outside the EU are required to submit relevant documentation in relation to their status in Ireland, prior to accepting an invitation to attend aptitude tests or written assessment and/or interview.
Late applicants (i.e. by 1st May) to CAO will be considered by the Institute. Late applicants are advised to notify the Admissions Office directly after they have submitted their CAO application. Where required these applicants will be invited to attend the aptitude test or written assessment and/or interview in May. Otherwise these applicants may undertake tests and/or interviews in early September. However, while the college will try to accommodate all applicants, we cannot guarantee that late applicants will be called for assessment.
Please note the quota of reserved places on high demand programmes may have been filled in May by the on-time candidates. Late candidates may be put on a waiting list if they are successful. However we cannot guarantee places to these applicants. Mature applicants should also contact the Admissions Office at IT, Tralee if they avail of the change of mind facility with CAO.

ACCS Scheme
ACCS is an acronym for accumulation of credits and certification of subjects. The ACCS scheme allows students to study a portion of a full-time programme in a part-time mode. Students can gain credits for each module successfully completed and accumulate those credits, over-time, towards a nationally recognised award such as a higher certificate or a degree.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
The Institute operates a policy that allows for the recognition of prior learning, both formal and informal learning. Informal and experiential learning includes nonaccredited education, work based training and relevant life/work experience. This learning is assessed and this assessment may lead to academic credits, exemption from subjects on intended course of study or places on particular courses of study. Applicants are required to compile a portfolio of evidence demonstrating how they have achieved the learning outcomes of a particular module within a programme or how they meet the entry requirements of a programme of study. The Institute is committed to providing support and assistance to guide the learner through the RPL application and/or in compiling the portfolio. Applications for RPL are dealt with on an individual basis once a student has registered on a particular course. Applicants should contact the relevant head of department well in advance of their intended entry date.
Special Circumstances
The Institute may also consider for admission, applicants who applied through the CAO, but whose performance at the Leaving Certificate examination was affected by extraordinary circumstances such as bereavement, serious accident or serious illness. Such applicants must provide documentary evidence in support of their application to demonstrate that they are of a standard equal to that of other students admitted to the course. A letter of support signed by the principal of the school you are currently attending must be appended to this documentary evidence.
All relevant documentation and a letter of consideration should be sent to Dr. Brendan O’ Donnell, Vice President Academic Affairs and Registrar, IT Tralee no later than the first Friday in July of the proposed year of entry.

Hide-Student Grants
Students attending full-time third level courses can apply for grant funding from Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) at www.studentfinance.ie. Eligibility for grants is dealt with solely by the applicant (student) and SUSI. Grants to applicants are subject to a means test. Students in receipt of a grant will have their student contribution charge covered by the grant and may also qualify for some level of grant payment called ‘maintenance grant’ throughout the academic year. When your registration for an approved course at an approved college has been confirmed SUSI will arrange to pay your student maintenance grant on a monthly basis directly into your Irish bank account. You will not receive your first grant payment until the end of October or later, if SUSI has not been in a position to fully process your application. Visit www.studentfinance.ie or contact SUSI at support@susi.ie, Tel. 0761 08 7874 or at Facebook.com/susisupport for more details.
Back To Education Allowance (BTEA)
The BTEA is an educational opportunities scheme for unemployed people, lone parents and people with a disability who are getting certain payments from the Department of Social Protection and who meet certain age requirements. Participants receive a standard rate of payment which is not means-tested so you may also work without affecting your payment. You keep entitlements to any secondary benefits you already have under your existing social protection payment, e.g. fuel allowance. However, any increase in income may affect your rent/mortgage supplement. If you are in receipt of BTEA, you are also eligible to apply to SUSI for an ESF fees grant only to pay for your student contribution charge. This application is means-tested. In the current academic year this fee is €3,000. This charge is set down by the HEA and is subject to review each July. While you are in receipt of the BTEA, you will not be eligible for a student maintenance grant. Participants on one parent family payment, disability allowance, invalidity pension or illness benefit are not automatically required to transfer to BTEA when returning to full-time education. Visit www.ittralee.ie/grantsandfinance for information on your options.
ESF Student Assistance Fund
The fund is intended to tackle educational disadvantage by providing financial support to eligible full-time students who are experiencing severe financial difficulties, to enable them to fully benefit from their third-level studies. Students may apply to the access officer or the chaplain for assistance from the start of term.
ESF Fund For Students With Disabilities
The fund provides grants towards the provision of services and the purchase of equipment for students with disabilities attending courses in third level institutions, e.g. personal assistant, sign language interpreter, dyslexia support, transport, additional tuition or assistive technology.
Tax Relief
You may be eligible to claim tax relief on tuition fees paid for approved full-time and part-time courses. Further information on tax relief for tuition fees is available from your nearest tax office or from Revenue's regional Lo-call telephone enquiry service or on www.revenue.ie

Hide-These programmes provide you with the skills to launch an exciting career as a professional in the health, fitness and leisure sectors.
They involve the study of six major subject areas, five of which are common to all students: Exercise Science, Health Studies, Activity Leadership, Physical Education and Professional Practice. For the sixth subject area, students study either ‘Education in Aquatics’ or ‘Outdoor and Experiential Learning’. The Level 7 degree award title will reflect this sixth subject area.
All course material is delivered through a mix of applied theory and practice. At the end of second year, students enter the Physical Education, Adapted Physical Activity or General Health and Leisure streams which allows students to begin specialise in specific topics in third year or continue to take the general health and leisure programme. There is also a 12-week work placement in third year, which can be completed with a local, national or international service provider.
Students on the Level 8 programme, who have not already opted to specialise in either Physical Education or Adapted Physical Activity, progress to fourth year in one of three specialisms. These are: Health and Wellbeing, Sports Development or Athletic Performance. Each of these specialisms includes a major independent study or research project which the students must undertake during fourth year. Level 8 students graduate with a degree award title which reflects the specialism they took in fourth year. For more information please see our website www.ittralee.ie. Full attendance at all programme activities is expected. A minimum attendance regulation applies. For more programme information please see our website www.ittralee.ie
WHY STUDY HEALTH AND LEISURE AT IT TRALEE?
Our undergraduate Health and Leisure Studies programmes have been offered through the CAO for over twenty years. Throughout that time, we have continued to be innovative in our approach to teaching and learning, ensuring the programme content will equip students with the breadth of knowledge, skills and competency to perform at the highest levels. Graduates will have a bachelor of science degree and a variety of discipline-specific professional (various health-related, exercise professional-related and aquatics or outdoor education) certifications. Students are expected to become sufficiently competent practitioners to become eligible for professional fitness instructor registration in group exercise, gym instruction and personal training.
Adapted Physical Activity specialism graduates are health and leisure professionals with a specialist knowledge and experience in working with people with disabilities. They work in health and leisure centres, in sports camps, in health promotion, in mainstream and special needs schools, in community centres, in clinical settings, in residential and day care services and outdoor education centres.
Physical Education specialism graduates work within the school environment, and also in youth work, adult education and broader community sport and leisure settings. They take on coaching roles in leisure facilities and run coaching courses for communities, schools, colleges and teams. This programme also provides an alternative pathway into a second level physical education qualification.
Health and Wellbeing specialism graduates work where physical activity, recreation and sport are used to enhance wellbeing. Their studies are especially relevant to employment settings which demand a focus on health and health promotion through physical activity, recreation and sport. These include: the HSE as health promotion officers, spa/ wellness centres as wellness leaders within gyms, spas and studios, positive youth development workers, therapeutic recreation coaches, well-being coaches and disability service providers.
Sports Development specialism graduates focus on advancing sport in society. Their studies enable them to plan, research, implement and evaluate sports development policy, programmes and practices to facilitate physical activity provision throughout the stages of life. This might include addressing particular groups which may not have equity of access to physical activity, sport and recreational opportunities. For example: older adult populations, females, ethnic minorities and those with special needs.
Athletic Performance specialism graduates work as strength and conditioning specialists, fitness conditioning consultants, fitness and leisure operational managers, commercial group exercise leaders, personal trainers, group exercise leaders, gym instructors/supervisors and as fitness and programming professionals for teams/athletes.
