TAP foundation course for mature students

This one-year course prepares mature students (EU students who are over 23 years of age on 1 January of the proposed year of entry) for entry to undergraduate studies at Trinity College and other third-level institutions. There are no standard educational requirements but evidence of a particular interest in studying at university and strong personal motivation is essential. In addition, if English is not your first language you will be required to provide evidence of English language proficiency.

Applicants for the Foundation Course for Mature Students may apply online from mid-November. You may also apply for the University Access Courses which Trinity College runs in partnership with Pearse College and Plunket College on this application form. The closing date for receipt of applications is March 28th. Students are not required to apply to the Central Applications Office.
