The CAO is now OPEN!

The CAO is now open so if you’re thinking about third-level and hoping to study at MIC next September, be sure to submit your application by 1 February.

Ahead of the CAO opening, we caught up with our recent graduates for their advice. Having been through the process themselves, they’ve got some great words of wisdom for CAO applicants.

We’ve also got lots of information on our CAO Hub about our programmes and student life at our campuses in Limerick and Thurles so take a look and discover the right degree for you.

Mature Student Life at MIC

We caught up with first year Bachelor of Arts student, Pat from Charleville, to chat about why he returned to education after 45 years of farming and what the first few weeks of life as a mature student at MIC have been like.
