Professional Master of Education (NUI) Points - Scoring System - 2018 Entry The basic requirement for entry is an eligible level 8 primary degree of the National University of Ireland (NUI) or its equivalent, as defined here. Those who have not yet completed their degree at the time of applying are evaluated on the examination results of the most recently completed academic year (not ERASMUS or equivalent). In the case of degree courses assessed by Grade Point Average (GPA), the most recent cumulative grade point average figure will be the relevant one. Applicants can be offered places provisional on their being successful in their final degree examination. Applicants who hold an eligible primary degree at the time of application are evaluated on their level 8 degree results. Points will be awarded on the basis of - performance in an eligible level 8 primary degree and - additional relevant academic qualifications, if any - relevant professional experience, if any Points for relevant professional experience - Up to five points may be awarded in recognition of full time paid employment which is deemed relevant, and which can be verified. Points will normally be awarded on the basis of one point for year of relevant experience, up to the maximum of five points - Up to two additional points may be awarded in recognition of part time paid employment which is deemed relevant, and which can be verified. Points will normally be awarded on the basis of one point for year of relevant experience, up to the maximum of two points Points for academic performances Points are based on the overall percentage mark obtained in the appropriate examination as confirmed by the applicant's university or awarding body, or as determined by The Postgraduate Applications Centre (PAC) on the basis of information received. In the case of awards other than NUI awards, equivalences will be calculated. The Applications Centre reserves the right to make such determinations, judgements and calculations which it feels appropriate, based on the information in its possession, in assigning points to academic performance results, additional qualifications and professional experience. The tables following indicate the number of points awarded for undergraduate/graduate examination performance, for additional academic qualifications, and for professional experience. The points system for academic performance set out below is designed to take account of all eligible level 8 primary degrees – including two-subject honours degrees, single honours degrees and degrees with one subject at honours level and one subject at pass level. In the case of eligible General Level 8 Degrees of the NUI (i.e. three subject pass degrees), points will be allocated using the schedule for pass papers. The following should assist applicants who wish to calculate their points The points for academic performances are based on the overall percentage mark obtained in the appropriate examination as confirmed by the applicant's university or awarding body, or as determined by The Postgraduate Applications Centre (PAC) on the basis of information received. - Maximum Points for candidates with an eligible level 8 primary degree for which an honours award is available: 51 points - Maximum Points for candidates with an eligible level 8 primary degree for which an honours award is not available: 45 points - Maximum Points for candidates with a two subject eligible level 8 degree, where honours are available for one subject but not for the other: 48 points Sample Calculations based on the above points table - Student A received 63% in subject X and 52% in subject Y. Both subjects were in an eligible level 8 degree for which an honours award is available. Student A’s overall percentage mark is (63 + 52) 2 = 57.50% which is equivalent to 40 points. - Student B received 63% in subject X and 52% in subject Y. Both subjects were in an eligible level 8 degree for which an honours award is NOT available. Student B’s overall percentage mark is (63 + 52) 2 = 57.50% which is equivalent to 34 points. - Student C has taken a two-subject eligible level 8 degree, one subject 'T' for which honours is available and the second subject 'U' for which honours is not available. Student C received 58% in the honours subject 'T' and 54% in pass subject 'U'. To calculate an overall points score for Student C, the 58% honours component is converted to the equivalent in points (i.e. 41 pts). Then the 54% pass component is converted to the equivalent in points (i.e. 33 pts). Both points values are then added and divided by 2 to attain an average points score (i.e. 41pts + 33pts = 74 pts ÷ 2 = 37 points). - (a) This sample does NOT apply to the Single Honours Level 8 Degree from University College Cork (1989 – 1999). - (b) In those cases where information is made available concerning honours/pass designation at modular level, weighted average points scores will be calculated. - Student D has taken an honours level 8 degree programme made up of a number of modules/courses. Student D’s overall percentage mark is 64.32%, which is equivalent to 44 points. - Student E has taken a pass level 8 degree programme made up of a number of modules/courses. Student E’s overall percentage mark is 64.32%, which is equivalent to 38 points. Note: Qualifications which form a subsidiary part of a higher qualification are not awarded points and level 7 as part of a level 8 award e.g., a National Diploma as part of a Degree Programme. All qualifications being submitted for assessment purposes must be awarded prior to 01 December 2017. Points for relevant Professional Experience Applicants for the PME may have professional experience related to their proposed teaching subjects, or professional experience in working with young people. In recognition of the value of these experiences, some additional points can be awarded. However, to ensure verifiability, points can only be awarded for paid employment which can be verified through appropriate documentation. To claim additional points you will normally need to provide a letter from your employer showing the start and end dates, the salary and the description of the role, and you should be prepared to provide tax records to support this if required. Points are only awarded for professional experience which is deemed relevant. The two main categories of experience which are considered relevant are (i) experience of professional work (normally at graduate level) related to the teaching subject, and (ii) experience of working with young people in a role sufficiently related to teaching. In each case the experience must be over a sustained period and must be of a sufficiently high level to merit the allocation of additional points. Points are awarded in two categories: - Full-time paid professional experience. If the experience is deemed relevant, one point is awarded per year of employment, up to a maximum of 5 points. - Part-time paid professional experience. If the experience is deemed relevant, one point is awarded per year of employment, up to a maximum of 2 points. Please note that: - Points cannot be awarded where the information provided is ambiguous or incomplete. - Points awarded for professional experience are entirely at the discretion of the PAC PME team, representing the participating universities. - Points are not awarded for teaching in a second-level school while unqualified. Note: Full time employment is taken to mean full time hours. Continuous employment for at least 9 months is required to claim points for one year. Part time can be considered if either (i) part time throughout the year, or (ii) full time for a period of three months (e.g. summer employment). Verification required Note: PAC may seek tax records as further verification of employment.

Córas Scórála Pointí Ionad na nIarratas ar an Máistir Gairmiúil san Oideachas (Post-Primary Teaching) Points - 2018 Is é an bunriachtanas i gcomhair iontrála ná bunchéim incháilithe Leibhéal 8 de chuid Ollscoil Náisiúnta na hÉireann (NUI), nó a hontamhail, faoi mar atá mínithe anseo, ag iarratasóir sula féidir leis iarratas a sheoladh isteach. Maidir leo siúd ar fad nach bhfuil an chéim fós críochnaithe acu agus iad ag comhlánú na foirme iarratais, déanfar iad a mheas de réir na dtorthaí scrúduithe deireadh bliana acadúla is deireanaí atá acu. (Ná seol isteach torthaí ERASMUS). I gcás cúrsaí céime atá á measúnú le ‘Meán Grád-Phointe’ (GPA) is é an GPA is deireanaí atá ag iarratasóir an ceann a úsáidfear. D’fhéadfadh sé go dtairgfear áiteanna sealadacha dóibh ach an chéim a chríochnú go hiomlán, gan teip a fháil. Déantar iarratasóirí a bhfuil bunchéim incháilithe leibhéal 8 acu nuair a dhéanann siad iarratas a mheas ar a gcuid torthaí céime. Bronnfar pointí bunaithe - ar fheidhmíocht i mbunchéim incháilithe leibhéal 8 agus - aon cháilíochtaí iomchuí acadúla breise (más ann dóibh). - rtaithí ghairmiúil chuí, más ann Pointí as taithí ghairmiúil chuí - D’fhéadfaí suas le cúig phointe a thabhairt mar aitheantas ar fhostaíocht íoctha lánaimseartha a mheastar a bheith cuí, agus a fhéadfar a dheimhniú. Tabharfar pointe amháin de ghnáth do gach bliain taithí chuí, suas le cúig phointe ar a mhéad - D’fhéadfaí suas le dhá phointe bhreise a thabhairt mar aitheantas ar fhostaíocht íoctha pháirtaimseartha a mheastar a bheith cuí, agus a fhéadfar a dheimhniú. Tabharfar pointe amháin de ghnáth do gach bliain taithí chuí, suas le dhá phointe ar a mhéad Pointí as léirithe acadúla Tabharfar pointí d’iarratasóir de réir na marcanna céatadánacha a fhaigheann an t-iarratasóir sin sa scrúdú cuí agus a chuireann an Ollscoil/Institiúid ar fhreastail sé/sí uirthi ar fáil, nó tabharfar pointí d’iarratasóirí de réir mar a chinnfidh Ionad na nIarratas ar An tIonad Iarratas Iarchéime (PAC), ar bhonn an eolais atá curtha ar fáil ag an iarratasóir. I gcás gradam seachas gradaim eile de chuid Ollscoil na hÉireann (NUI), déanfar iad a ríomh go coibhéiseach. Forchoimeádann an tIonad Iarratas an ceart chun cibé cinntí, breithiúnais agus ríomhaireachtaí a dhéanamh is cuí leis, de réir an eolais a bheidh ina sheilbh, le linn dó pointí a shannadh do thorthaí acadúla, do cháilíochtaí breise agus do thaithí ghairmiúil. Note: In DCU, overall percentage marks are not provided on Transcripts. In order to calculate your overall percentage mark please apply the following calculation: - Multiply the mark awarded for each module by the corresponding ECTS credits to determine a weighted value - Total the weighed values together and divide by the total number of credits for that academic year Please refer to the example below for clarification: Divide the total weighted value (3020) by the total ECTS credits (60) = Overall percentage mark of 50.3 Overview of Points System Taispeánann na táblaí seo a leanas an líon pointí a thabharfar do thorthaí bunchéime/céime, do cháilíochtaí acadúla breise agus do thaithí ghairmiúil. Tá an córas pointí d'fheidhmíocht acadúil atá leagtha amach thíos ceaptha chun gach bunchéim incháilithe leibhéal 8 a chur san áireamh – lena n-áirítear céimeanna onóracha le dhá ábhar, céimeanna aon ábhair agus céimeanna le hábhar amháin ag leibhéal onóracha agus ábhar amháin ag leibhéal pas. I gcás céimeanna ginearálta incháilithe Leibhéal 8 de chuid Ollscoil na hÉireann (i.e céimeanna pas le trí ábhar) dáilfear pointí ag úsáid an sceidil do pháipéir phas.Ba cheart go gcabhródh an méid seo a leanas leo siúd a dteastaíonn uathu a gcuid pointí a ríomh Tabharfar pointí d’iarratasóir de réir na marcanna céatadánacha a fhaigheann an t-iarratasóir sin sa scrúdú cuí agus a chuireann an Ollscoil/Institiúid ar fhreastail sé/sí uirthi ar fáil, nó tabharfar pointí d’iarratasóirí de réir mar a chinnfidh Ionad na nIarratas ar An tIonad Iarratas Iarchéime (PAC), ar bhonn an eolais atá curtha ar fáil ag an iarratasóir. - Uaslíon Pointí d’iarrthóirí le bunchéim incháilithe leibhéal 8 a bhfuil dámhachtain onóracha ar fáil di: 51 pointí - Uaslíon Pointí d’iarrthóirí le bunchéim incháilithe leibhéal 8 nach bhfuil dámhachtain onóracha ar fáil di: 45 pointí - Uasmhéid Pointí d’iarrthóirí le bunchéim incháilithe leibhéal 8 le dhá ábhar, a bhfuil onóracha ar fáil d’ábhar amháin inti ach gan a bheith ar fáil don ábhar eile: 48 pointí Ríomhaireachtaí Samplacha bunaithe ar an tábla pointí thuas - Léinn A (DCU Graduate) received an overall percentage mark of 50.3 which is equivalent to 37 points. - Fuair Mac Léinn B 63% in ábhar X agus 52% in abhar Y. Bhí an dá ábhar i gcéim incháilithe leibhéal 8 a bhfuil dámhachtain onóracha ar fáil di. Is é atá i marc céatadánach foriomlán Mhac Léinn B ná (63 + 52) ? 2 = 57.50% agus tá sé sin comhionann le 40 phointe. - Fuair Mac Léinn C 63% in ábhar X agus 52% in abhar Y. Bhí an dá ábhar i gcéim incháilithe leibhéal 8 NACH bhfuil dámhachtain onóracha ar fáil di. Is é atá i marc céatadánach foriomlán Mhac Léinn C ná (63 + 52) ? 2 = 57.50% agus tá sé sin comhionann le 34 bpointe. - Tá céim incháilithe leibhéal 8 le dhá ábhar déanta ag mac Léinn D, a bhfuil onóracha ar fáil d'ábhar amháin 'T' inti agus nach raibh onóracha ar fáil don ábhar eile di, ábhar ‘U’. Fuair Mac Léinn D 58% san ábhar onórach ‘T’, agus 54% san ábhar pas ‘U’. Chun líon na bpointí a ríomh do mhac Léinn D, déantar na pointí a théann leis an 58% d’ábhar ‘T’ agus na pointí a théann leis an pointí d’ábhar U a chur le chéile agus ansin roinntear an figiúir ar a dó leis an méan a ríomh i bhfoirm pointí (i.e. 58% Onóracha = 41 pointe; 54% Pas = 33 pointe; 41 pointe + 33 pointe = 74 pointe ÷ 2 = 37 pointe san iomlán). - (a) NÍ bhaineann an sampla seo leis an gCéim Onóracha Aonair Leibhéal 8 ó Choláiste na hOllscoile, Corcaigh (1989 – 1999). - (b) Sna cásanna sin ina gcuirtear eolas ar fáil maidir le hainmniúchán onóracha/pas ag Leibhéal modúlach, déanfar scóir meánphointí ualaithe a ríomh. - Tá clár do chéim onóracha leibhéal 8 déanta ag mac Léinn E ina raibh líon áirithe modúl/cúrsaí. Is é atá i marc céatadánach foriomlán mhac Léinn E ná 64.32%, atá comhionann le 44 phointe. - Tá clár do chéim pas leibhéal 8 déanta ag mac Léinn F ina bhfuil líon áirithe modúl/cúrsaí. Is é atá i marc céatadánach foriomlán mhac Léinn F ná 64.32%, atá comhionann le 38 bpointe. Nóta: Ní thabharfar pointí d’aon cháilíocht a fhaigheann iarratasóir mar chuid d’Ard-Cháilíocht and level 7 as part of a level 8 award e.g. Dioplóma Náisiúnta mar chuid de Chúrsa Céime. Ní mór go mbeadh gach cáilíocht a chuirtear isteach le measúnú a dhéanamh uirthi bronnta roimh 01 Nollaig 2017. Pointí as Taithí Ghairmiúil chuí D’fhéadfadh taithí ghairmiúil a bheith ag iarratasóirí ar an PME a bhaineann lena n-ábhair teagaisc, nó taithí ghairmiúil ag obair le daoine óga. Mar aitheantas ar luach na taithí seo, d’fhéadfaí pointí breise a thabhairt.Ach chun a chinntiú gur féidir iad a dheimhniú, ní thabharfar pointí ach ar fhostaíocht íoctha a d’fhéadfaí a dheimhniú trí cháipéisíocht chuí.Chun pointí breise a éileamh, ní mór duit litir a fháil ó d’fhostóir ag léiriú dátaí tosaithe agus críochnaithe, tuarastal agus cur síos ar an ról agus ba chóir duit a bheith in ann cuntais chánach a sholáthar chun tacú leis seo más gá. Ní thabharfar pointí ach as taithí ghairmiúil a mheasfar a bheith cuí. Is iad na dá chineál taithí a mheastar a bheith cuí (i) obair ghairmiúil (ag leibhéal céime go hiondúil) a bhaineann leis an ábhar teagaisc, agus (ii) taithí ar obair le daoine óga i ról a bhaineann le teagasc. I ngach cás, caithfidh an taithí maireachtáil tréimhse áirithe agus a bheith ag leibhéal sách ard le go mbronnfaí pointí breise uirthi. Bronntar pointí in dhá chatagóir: - Taithí ghairmiúil íoctha lánaimseartha. Más taithí chuí atá ann, tugtar pointe amháin as gach bliain fostaíochta, suas le cúig phointe ar a mhéad. - Taithí ghairmiúil íoctha pháirtaimseartha. Más taithí chuí atá ann, tugtar pointe amháin as gach bliain fostaíochta, suas le dhá phointe ar a mhéad. Tabhair faoi deara: - Ní thabharfar pointí má bhíonn an t-eolas a chuirtear ar fail doiléir nó neamhiomlán. - Is iad foireann PME PAC, thar ceann na n-ollscoileanna, a bhronnfaidh pointí as taithí ghairmiúil. Nóta: Meastar go gciallaíonn fostaíocht lánaimseartha uaireanta lánaimseartha. Tá fostaíocht leanúnach ar feadh tréimhse 9 mí ar a laghad de dhíth chun pointí do bhliain amháin a éileamh. Is féidir fostaíocht pháirtaimseartha a mheas (i) mar fhostaíocht pháirtaimseartha ar feadh na bliana, nó (ii) fostaíocht lánaimseartha ar feadh trí mhí (m.sh. fostaíocht samhraidh). Fíorú ag teastáil Nóta: D’fhéadfadh PAC tuairiscí cánach a iarraidh mar fhíorú breise ar fhostaíocht.
