    Hi,

    I was just wondering what is involved in the Assessments for a Mature Student to see if they are accepted into the BA (Honours) in Applied Social Studies in Social Care (BN107).

    All I know is that the college invites you to take part in an assessment which is based on English grammar and maths but I was hoping to get more detailed information to help prepare.

    Any info would be most appreciated.

    Thanks a mil

    Hi there.

    I'm currently in my final year of this course and I also applied via the mature student route.

    The assessment is really just to get a grasp of your basic math skills and your use of the English language.

    The maths question are very straightforward and you'll get an essay type question along the lines of "why you want to do this course/what you've done to prepare yourself for college".

    It lasts an hour as far as I recall.

    The very best of luck with it. :)

    No problem at all. It's really straight forward but the essay question is really a good way to be able to sell yourself. To be honest, there are more mature students/PLC entrants to this course than those coming in straight from leaving cert.

    Keep me up to date with how you get on. :)
