Hi, just read a post how are points calculated. Matriculation requirements were mentioned. Can someone explain what matriculation is all about. Thanks

Matriculation requirements are the minimum requirements to enter the course. Sometimes students achieve the points required for a course but do not gain entry because they have not got acertain grade in a certain subject eg HC3 in Chemistry. Many courses will have a pass in maths as a matriculation requirement. Some courses in the NUI colleges do not require a pass in maths.

Actually, almost but not quite ... not being smart, but just for clarity:

Matriculation requirements are the basic minimum requirements set by a university for entry to the university.

Course requirements are specific extra minimum requirements applicable to a particular course ... e.g. a certain grade in Higher Maths, etc. Course requirements as listed on websites / prospectuses will often (tho' not always) include matriculation requirements.

Provided you satisfy both of those, you will be ranked by points to determine whether you get your place.
