 Other degree programmes
(non-accredited degree programmes)

The awarding of exemptions isn't restricted to accredited degrees only - other

programmes from recognised third level education providers can give
students exemptions. Usually these programmes will give partial CAP 1
exemptions, but there are o en exceptions.

If you have completed a non-accredited degree, the application process is the

same as with accredited; we'll just need a little more information from you. As
well as your transcripts of results for each year of study, you'll need to send in
your course module descriptors and examples of exam papers. We accept
applications from programmes overseas, and all documents sent to us must
be translated into English by a certified service. Please note, applicants for
our programe must reside on the island of Ireland.

Post graduate programmes

We have also accredited a number of post-graduate masters programmes for
exemptions from our CAP 1 and CAP 2 exams. Please click the button below
for more details.
