    Hi Peter,

    I think it depends on what route you are going to take. There is a graduate entry and also mature student entry route - where you do not have a degree at the moment. Depending on which one you are going to follow there will be different criteria for entry.

    Have a look at the CAO hand book. Also the application process may vary from college to college, have a look at their admissions page, on the relevant college websites.

    Here is the CAO hand book -> http://www2.cao.ie/handbook/handbook/index.php
