Eligibility Criteria for individual Special Purpose Awards or for the full Level 7 degree:
To do the full Level 7 degree in Quality for Industry, you need to hold a Level 6 award in Science, Business or Engineering. If you have foreign qualifications, please send an official transcript (with English translation if necessary) to Learn@gmit.ie so that we can map your award to the Irish system.
Recognition of your experience in industry (also known as recognition of prior learning (RPL)):
If you do not hold a Level 6 award, and if you have significant experience in industry (medical device, or pharmaceutical industry), then you could apply to GMIT to have your work experience reviewed to determine if it can be accredited as being the equivalent to a Level 6 award.
