QQI Scoring
Places are limited and offers will be allocated on applicant’s score only. All specified requirements must be met to a minimum of 120 credits. The scores for each of the best 8 modules are added to give a points tally. Only the best 8 modules will be counted, and the maximum score is 390. Where applications exceed places on a course, offers will be made through random selection.
