Language Exemptions

Some HEIs have language general entry/matriculation requirements. Before applying for any course it is important to check the minimum entry requirements on the HEI website and prospectus. If you do not meet these requirements and you believe you may be entitled to an exemption, you should make an application to the relevant body (see below).

Please note: if you have been granted an exemption from completing Irish at secondary school by the Department of Education, it will still be necessary to follow the steps outlined below in order to obtain an exemption from Higher Education Institution minimum entry requirements. A school exemption will not be sufficient.
