NB NOTE on Modern Foreign Languages (MFL)

A third language (i.e. not English or Irish) is a requirement for many courses in Irish
universities. Please check the ‘Subject requirements module’ on www.qualifax.ie OR do a
course search on www.careersportal.ie OR look at information available at www.nui.ie/
college/entry-requirements-faqs

As a result all students at St. Mary’s Secondary School will study a language, and have a
choice between French OR German.

If students have a recognised exemption in languages, proof of this will be required by any University that
requires a language. However, this means students will still need to have SIX subjects going into senior cycle.
Therefore will need another subject instead of the language.

The NUI universities and colleges require a pass in a third language for some of their courses:

> UCC > St. Angela’s College, Sligo
> NUI Galway > Pontifical University, Maynooth
> UCD > Shannon College of Hotel Management
> NUI Maynooth > The Royal College of Surgeons (RCSI)

Other colleges have a third language as a requirement for certain courses that have a large
language component, e.g., European Studies, Languages & Marketing, Hotel Management, Languages
& International Tourism.

NCAD require a third language or Art.

Entry to the Cadetships in the Army and Naval Service require a third Language.
