Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 November 2014
908. Deputy Pat Rabbitte asked the Minister for Education and Skills the lowest number of leaving certificate points where the appellant's leaving certificate was one of the criteria used accepted by University College Dublin for admission to its medicine degree programme via mature applicant entry for the years 2012, 2013 and 2014. [41773/14]
View answerI would like to inform the Deputy that in the case of mature applicants for Medicine at UCD, points achieved in the Leaving Certificate form only part of the requirements for admission, which include mandatory completion of the Health Professions Admission Test (HPAT), work experience, personal statement and references. The number of applicants for the years in question is very small, and the lowest Leaving Certificate points score involved was 480 points.
