    It depends on the college. Some might just interview you, some might do an assessment, some might do both or they may make a decision on the basis of just the application. The relevant admissions dept can tell you.

    Taken from AIT's website: http://http://www.ait.ie/informationforfuturestudents/maturestudents/
    How are applications assessed?

    Interviews normally form part of the selection process. Interviews are scheduled to take place during the months of April and May. Candidates are assessed on the basis of information supplied with the CAO application which can include:
    •Educational Experiences
    Evidence provided in relation to informal education, e.g. non-assessed adult education, interest/hobby courses etc.


    •Relevant Life Experience
    Details of any relevant experiences gained through employment and/or volunteer work, which are relevant. Any other experiences (e.g. personal experiences, interests, activities etc.), which are relevant.


    •Motivation and Interest
    Your interest in academic study. Your desire to return to learning. Your reasons for wishing to undertake this programme at AIT. Its potential contribution to your future career plans.

    Some AIT undergraduate programmes require portfolio submission or aptitude testing. Any such requirements are clearly detailed in the AIT prospectus    .

    Mature applicants who meet minimum entry requirements may also compete on the basis of their school-leaving examination results in competition with other applicants. The school-leaving examination performance of applications is scored on the basis of the applicants’ best results in not more than six individual subjects taken in the Leaving Certificate examination of any one-year.
