Entry via NI/UK awards. - GCE/GCSE
The most straightforward entry mechanism for NI/UK applicants is via good A-Level results. GCSE at grade C or higher count towards general matriculation but are not
awarded points. Selection from among matriculated candidates is based on points assigned to A-levels results. Applicants must achieve a minimum score of 160 points
overall to be eligible for courses at levels 7 or 8. The higher the grades, the better the points score and, thus the better the chance of selection. The scoring mechanism for
standard GCE/GCSE combination forms part of the CAO’s centralized automated scoring system. It is available on the CAO website here:
Applied A-levels,
LYIT will accept Applied A-Level awards for all courses.
*Candidates presenting Applied A-levels should note that they still need to meet any other matriculation requirements, such as:
An appropriate total number of subjects:- 5 different subjects are required for levels 6/7, 6 different subjects are required for level 8
• The range of subjects presented must include English (or Irish) in all cases.
• The majority of programmes at LYIT require mathematics from matriculation, where this is that case the range of subjects presented must include mathematics.Other NI/UK awards
All other UK awards, e.g. BTECS, GNVQs, Foundation Certificates, City & Guilds, etc., are non-standard and are not included in CAO centralized and automated scoring.
However, provided appropriate documentation/certification is provided to CAO in a timely fashion, they may be considered and scored manually by an admitting HEI.
At LYIT, the minimum award level considered for year 1 entry is an award at UK Framework Level 3 or higher.
Please note that restrictions apply to entry via programmes other that the standard GCE/GCSE combination.
• You must demonstrate that any non GCE award presented in at UK Framework level 3 or higher.
• You may be required to supply a copy of the syllabus.
• You may be required to demonstrate that the award in in a similar field to the LYIT course for which you are applying.
• Your final certified results must be with us by August 10th is you wish to be eligible for potential inclusion in round 1 offers.
• On high demand programmes there is normally a very limited quota of places available to non-standard entrants.
• Selection is competitive. Basic Matriculation alone does not guarantee entry. High scoring applicants will be selected before lower scoring applicants
It is important that you alert us if you intend to submit any awards other than the standard GCE/GCSE combination, for instance if your application will be based on BTECS,
or Access Programmes from NI/UK Universities. For high-demand course such as Nursing and Veterinary Nursing you are likely to have a far better chance of selection via
good A-level results than via non-standard entry routes.
