Open Day Mary I's Limerick campus
This Saturday, January 11th, Mary Immaculate College will give thousands of prospective students the opportunity to explore its Limerick campus and discover all that the college has to offer from its range of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, extra-curricular activities and exceptional facilities. The Open Day will be an invaluable opportunity for prospective students to get a real sense of the college and to get the information they need to make their final college choices.
The Open Day will include programme talks and MIC student led campus tours. Prospective students will get the chance to meet with lecturers and support staff; mingle with current students and learn about the 12 undergraduate degree programmes on offer at MIC Limerick and MIC Thurles, as well as over 30 different postgraduate programmes, which are offered from graduate diploma to doctoral level.
In addition to the flexible Bachelor of Arts (MI002) undergraduate degree at MIC Limerick, which offers students the opportunity to choose from 13 subjects ranging from English Language and Literature to Drama and Theatre Studies, and from French Studies to Mathematics and Computer Studies, MIC also offers Early Childhood, Theatre Studies, and Primary and Post-Primary Teacher degrees. Two new programmes have also been added to the MIC offering for those applying in 2020, namely the Bachelor of Education – International (MI004) at MIC Limerick and the Bachelor in Education, Mathematics and Business Studies (MI014) at MIC Thurles.
In addition to the postgraduate scholarships available, prospective students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level can now apply for two elite sports scholarships worth €4,000 each, while those applying for undergraduate degrees at MIC Limerick and MIC Thurles can also apply for entrance scholarships, valued at €2,000 each. A new CAO Points Concession Scheme has also been introduced whereby up to 10 places across all undergraduate programmes will be reserved for those who have demonstrated a high level of sporting performance. Successful applicants who meet all the necessary requirements may be eligible for a points reduction of up to 40 points below the First Round CAO points cut-off for the programme they have applied for.
