The Higher Education Access Route to Education (HEAR) and The Disability Access Route to Education (DARE) application deadlines are fast approaching.
HEAR is an alternative admissions route which supports students who are for social, financial or cultural reasons under-represented in third level education. The scheme gives pre-entry support such as a points reduction and support is continued when the student goes on to attend university.
DARE is another alternative admissions route that offers college places at a reduced points level to students that have a disability which has had a negative impact on their second level education.
