Hide-A 4-year bachelors degree with a minimum upper second class honours (NFQ level 8) or international equivalence in a relevant chemical technology or chemical engineering programme. However, all applicants will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and relevant or extensive work experience will be taken into account, so that in certain exceptional cases an award at a lower level or a 2.2 classification may be considered.

Applicants whose first language is not English must also demonstrate English language proficiency of IELTS 6.5 (no band less than 6.0 in each element), or equivalent.
