HEAR is a college and university admissions scheme offering places on reduced points and extra college support to school leavers from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The HEAR scheme is operated by the Irish Universities Association (IUA) and regulated by individual higher education institutions. My Department plays no role in the assessment and award of places under the scheme.
The operational management of HEAR was transferred from the Shared Services Unit in the IUA to the Central Applications Office (CAO) in November 2016. Any queries in relation to admission through the HEAR scheme should be directed to the CAO at http://www.cao.ie.
Further details on the various access routes is available at: http://www.cao.ie/index.php?page=accessroutes.
Contact details in each of the participating colleges is available at: http://accesscollege.ie/hear/contact-a-hearhei/.
