Hide-H5 in two subjects, and O6/ H7 in four other subjects from Irish, English, Maths, one laboratory science subject (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Physics with Chemistry or Agricultural Science) and two other subjects recognised for entry purposes.

Additional Requirement
H4 in Maths and H4 in a lab science subject

To compete for a place as a school leaver, an applicant must satisfy the minimum entry requirements as well as any specific programme requirements, and then compete on the basis of the results obtained in their school leaving examinations.

Applicants may combine results achieved in different sittings for the purpose of meeting the minimum entry requirements for programmes, with the exception of Medicine (CK701). However, results achieved in separate years of school-leaving exams may not be combined for the purpose of scoring points.

Leaving Certificate applicants compete on the basis of a Points scheme.

Hide-UCC reserves places for mature students on almost all undergraduate degree programmes. Mature students do not need Leaving Certificate points to enter UCC. However, some degree programmes have specific educational requirements and it is essential that prospective applicants check the Mature Student Guide, the Mature Student Office website, or contact a Mature Student Advisor for further details.

To be eligible to compete for a place as a mature student, applicants must be 23 years of age on or before the 1st January 2018. Application is made through the CAO by 1 February 2018. There is no late application date for mature students. UCC allows mature applicants to change the order of their CAO preferences up to 1 July. The completed application form is a vital component of the selection process.

The Mature Student Office will be pleased to help you with your application. The Mature Student Guide gives details of all aspects of the application and selection procedures as well as financial matters. This Guide is available on request from the Mature Student Office. The MSAP selection test for mature students in the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences will take place on Saturday 3rd March 2018.

LATE APPLICATIONS
Late Applications are those which are received after 5:15pm on 1st February 2018 and will be accepted up to 5:15pm on 1st May 2018, subject to the restricitions listed on page 3 of the 2018 CAO Handbook.

Exceptional Late Applications (Exception to the Timetable)
The exceptional closing date of 22nd of July at 5:15pm applies only to applicants who are currently undergraduate students in any year in any one of the participating HEIs (subject to the exclusions listed below). In order to avail of the Exceptional Late Application facility you must have entered the HEI through the CAO system.

If you did not enter your current course through the CAO system, you must first contact the Admissions Office of the HEI to which you wish to apply and they will inform you if you may submit an application direct to the institution.

Exclusions:
You may submit a late application only for entry to courses other than your existing course. If you wish to repeat the year in the same course you must arrange this within your HEI.

Mary Immaculate College Limerick, Trinity College Dublin, University of Limerick, Maynooth University and Galway Mayo Institute of Technology have special procedures in place in the case of current or previous students who wish to apply for entry to another course in the same HEI. Such applicants must contact their Admissions Office to determine the application procedure. However, if you are a student in another HEI and you wish to apply to any of these five HEIs, you should apply through CAO.

Refer to page 15 of the 2018 CAO Handbook on how to make an Exceptional Late Application.

Restricted-category Applicants
Mature applicants – most HEIs will require mature applicants, who wish to be assessed on mature grounds, to have applied to CAO by 1st February 2018 at 5:15pm. (This restriction does not apply if the applicant wishes to be considered on the basis of school leaving qualifications only.) For more information about applying to CAO on the basis of mature years go to www.cao.ie/mature.

Applying for the HEAR and/or DARE schemes – to be considered for the HEAR and/or DARE schemes applicants must have registered on the CAO system by 1st February 2018 at 5:15pm and must have completed the HEAR/DARE application form by 1st March 2018 at 5:15pm – supporting documents must be sent to CAO offices before 1st April 2018 at 5:15pm.

Hide-Introduction
Industrial physicists are problem solvers, able to quickly solve problems in a wide range of industrial settings, devising and employing novel and unconventional techniques as needed. This joint UCC/CIT degree combines fundamental physics with hands-on industrial training for ambitious students targeting careers in some of the most exciting and innovative industries in Ireland and abroad.

Why Study
Advanced manufacturing is the core of Ireland’s industrial output and high precision automated manufacturing is a central feature of all modern economies. This degree is ideal for students who wish to gain deep insight into the physics of modern technologies, and who enjoy applying this knowledge in problem solving in real-world environments. With strong employer demand for qualified graduates, this ever expanding field offers career paths for graduates who wish to use their skills in technical settings and equally those seeking a corporate management path. A joint degree between University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology, the first two years of the course focus mainly on fundamental physics, and the second two years place emphasis on industrial control technology.

Work Placement
All BSc Industrial Physics students are offered a 10-week placement either directly in industry or in a university or research centre laboratory performing industrially related research and development. The placements are most frequently in Ireland and have often led to offers of employment, though they may also be carried out at international sites.
