    Is it possible to do a Master's in Trinity or UCD after doing a degree in DIT or would it not be considered as it is not a university degree, does anyone know?

    What matters is the FETAC level. You must have a level 8 (Honours degree) to apply for a level 9 (Masters). Where you got your level 8 is largely irrelevant.

    Would it be more difficult if your undergrad degree was from DIT than a university, did anyone ever do it?

    Did anyone who did it find it difficult, I'd appreciate any replies from anyone who did it?

    Universities and ITs issue equal qualifications. What counts is the HETAC accreditation, which universities, the DIT and the regional ITs all have.

    Does the prestige of the name of the college not count for anything, a degree from Trinity must look better when applying than a degree from a small IT, is it not any more difficult if applying with a degree from DIT than UCD or Trinity?

    Did anyone else ever do it or know anyone who did, I'd appreciate to hear other's opinions?
