How do you apply to DBS?
Everything you need to know to make an application today!
 |
The application procedure in DBS will be determined by two things:
1. The course to which you wish to apply
2. Your age
37 courses appear on the CAO Handbook and therefore, applications are largely made through the CAO, however, where a student is considered 'mature', applications can also be made directly instead.
How do you know if you are considered a mature student?
If you are applying for something in the School of Business, you should be over the age of 21 since January 1st 2012, if you are applying for something in the School of Arts, you should be over the age of 23 since the 1st January 2012.
There is no difference between the two in that students will sit in the same classes and gain the same award regardless of how they applied. If you apply directly to the college you may be required to attend an informal interview in the college but other than that, the entry requirements are exactly the same.
How are mature students assessed once they have applied?
Mature students are assessed on the basis of age, general education standard, work experience and motivation and are not required to present the traditional minimum entry requirements in the form of leaving certificate. If you are a mature student why not contact the Admissions Office today to check if you are eligible to apply?
I am a mature student but I am out of education for a long time and I'm not sure which course is the most suited to me?
Direct applications from mature students are currently being processed and we will begin to arrange interviews in the next month so why not apply today and get the ball rolling? The Admissions Office can offer you advise and guidance on which course would be best for you. We can also offer you advice on completing the application forms and what to send us and when.
