Hide-Higher Education Links Scheme FETAC (NCVA) applicants
ITT Dublin participates in the links scheme which facilitates entry of FETAC (NCVA) Level 5 and 6 graduates. Recognised Level 5 programmes and ITT Dublin programmes they articulate with are listed at the back of the prospectus. The Institute reserves a number of places on each programme for qualified applicants. Entry is possible through the CAO mechanism. Applicants are judged solely on their Level 5 Certificate performance and are treated separately by the CAO. Entry is competitive – the highest scoring candidates are offered places until the quota is exhausted. Applicants should indicate on their CAO Application Form whether they wish to be considered for this entry route

A record of achievement does not meet the minimum entry requirements.

All FETAC level 5 and FETAC level 6 awards will be scored to deliver a maximum of 400 CAO points.

For approved FETAC links go to the back section of this prospectus.

Hide-Mature applicants (23 years of age) may not be required to meet the minimum entry requirements but may be considered on their merits.

Mature and Non Standard Applications
The Institute encourages applications from Mature and Non Standard applicants. Such applicants must apply through the CAO system and must clearly state all relevant details on the CAO Application. They should include all relevant supporting documentation including, where appropriate, testimonials from employers, when applying. Certified transcripts and English translations of qualifications not issued in English must also be furnished with the application. In a number of cases applicants for mature or non standard entry may be required to attend an interview and/or assessment.

A person who, by 1 January of the year he/she seeks admission, has reached the age of 23 years, will be regarded as a Mature Applicant. Mature Applicants may not be required to meet the minimum entry requirements specified for standard applicants. Mature Applicants will be considered on their merits, taking into account their work and life experience. Knowledge and skills gained through experiential learning may be considered, in the context of the curriculum of the programme for which they have applied. Particular consideration will be paid to applicants who demonstrate a special interest in a relevant subject area or who have demonstrated their commitment by undertaking some preparatory programme work and/or examinations.

Candidates are judged on their individual merits. With increasing applications from mature candidates it is necessary to rank applicants for available places. It is important therefore, that full use in made of the CAO Application to ensure that all relevant information and documentation on achievements are included. Mature applicants may be invited for interview and or assessment.

You should avoid submitting an application close to a closing date. No extensions to closing dates will be allowed and all fees are non-refundable.

LATE APPLICATIONS
Late Applications are those which are received after 5:15pm on 1st February 2017 and will be accepted up to 5:15pm on 1st May 2017, subject to the restricitions listed on page 3 of the 2017 CAO Handbook.

Late Applications (Exception to 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 and the University of Limerick 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 three HEIs, you should apply through CAO.

Refer to page 15 of the 2017 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 2017 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 2017 at 5:15pm and must have completed the HEAR/DARE application form by 1st March 2017 at 5:15pm – supporting documents must be sent to CAO offices before 1st April 2017 at 5:15pm.

Hide-TA224 Level 8
​B.Eng (Hons) in Biomedical Design
Healthcare and engineering professionals work collaboratively on projects to develop innovative new ways of improving our lives. Together, they design new hip implants, contact lenses, heart stents, surgical tools, incubators, spine braces and sports fitness monitoring devices to improve our lives. The Biomedical Engineering sector employs over 24,000 people in 160 companies in Ireland.

Students at IT Tallaght School of Engineering apply the design and problem solving skills studied as part of their Biomedical Design course to healthcare problems with the aim of improving the type of devices used in healthcare and also the treatments offered to patients.

The Biomedical Design degree in IT Tallaght is an innovative new programme developed to address the needs of the emergent medical technology industry. Built upon an interdisciplinary approach across engineering and science the programme will equip graduates for diverse career paths working as part of a design team with medical professionals, in hospitals, in research centres or in the manufacture of exciting new medical devices in Ireland and internationally.

This course integrates the study of anatomy and physiology with the traditional engineering subjects. Project work is carried out in conjunction with industry and surgeons from Our Lady's Children's Hospital Crumlin, Tallaght Hospital, The Mater Hospital and Santry Sports Clinic.

Areas studied include Anatomy and Physiology, Biomechanics, Biomaterials.
