New Irish language Entrance Examination for Nua-Ghaeilge

New Scrúdú Iontrála Gaeilge (Irish language Entrance Examination for Nua-Ghaeilge)

Maynooth University is delighted to introduce a new Scrúdú Iontrála Gaeilge (Irish language Entrance Examination) for students who wish to study Nua-Ghaeilge as part of the Arts MH101/MH102 programmes but who do not hold the standard H4 Leaving Certificate Irish requirement.

The new examination provides an additional pathway for students who have a strong interest in Irish. Students must first receive and accept a CAO offer for a place on MH101/MH102. Following registration, students who wish to take Nua-Ghaeilge and who do not have the required Leaving Certificate H4 in Irish will have the opportunity to sit the Scrúdú Iontrála Gaeilge.

• The MH102 Bachelor of Arts with Education is a new 3+2 pathway leading to a teaching career at Primary or Post-Primary.
• Students complete the three-year MH102 Bachelor of Arts with Education degree, followed by a protected pathway into a two-year Professional Master of Education (PME Primary Teaching) or Professional Master of Education (PME Secondary Teaching).
• Places: 40*(*upon completion of year two, students will choose either the primary or post-primary pathway. If demand exceeds places on either primary or post-primary pathway, places will be allocated based on students’ second-year results.)
  • 10 places PME Primary*
  • 30 places PME Post Primary*
