    Has anybody applied to AIT as a mature student? If so, when are you expecting to hear back from them? Cheers

    Hi Peanutbrown,
    If you are planning on starting in September 2014 your best chance of entry would be to enroll in AIT's foundation course. The course allows applicants to study different subjects from different departments and once you have passed the foundation course you can apply for any level 7 course and you will be guaranteed a place. This method of entry is like a "try before you buy" opportunity for the incoming student.

    You can talk to the access office on
    Access Office
    Tel: + 353 (0)90 642 4593


    The access office should be able to advise you about BTEA and fees if applicable. Hope this helps and the best of luck :)
