12. This is a restricted entry course; therefore, applications must be submitted to the CAO by 1 February of the proposed year of entry. If you indicate Drama studies or Drama and theatre studies as a choice of subject, you will be sent a questionnaire to complete in March. On the basis of the completed questionnaire some applicants will be called to attend a workshop and interview (during April/May) before final selections are made.

13. Two higher level grade Cs from the following subjects: physics, chemistry, biology, physics/chemistry, applied mathematics, mathematics. Leaving certificate applicants must present mathematics at ordinary level grade A2 or at higher level grade C3, while A-level applicants must present mathematics at Grade A at GCSE level or Grade C at A-level. Physics/chemistry may not be presented with chemistry or physics. Mathematics may not be presented with applied mathematics.

14. One higher level grade C from the following subjects: physics, chemistry, biology, physics/chemistry.

15. A grade D on the ordinary or higher paper in mathematics and in one of biology, physics, chemistry, physics/chemistry or agricultural science.
    Applicants who have previously been unsuccessful (academic and/or placement) in any Nursing or Midwifery programme or have any issues which would affect their registration with An Bord Altranais will only be considered for re-entry to Nursing or Midwifery on a case-by-case appeal basis to the relevant Programme Board.
