What Is HEAR?

The Higher Education Access Route to Education (HEAR) is a third-level alternative admissions scheme which offers places on reduced points, and extra college supports to school leavers from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds who are resident in the Republic of Ireland.

HEAR Applicants must meet a range of financial, social and cultural indicators to be considered for a reduced points place and extra college support.

Applicants must meet the minimum entry requirements and achieve a minimum of 300 points; Applicants must achieve at least 85% of the points required for the course and meet any additional requirements, where they exist. Please visit the following link for further information:
