The HEAR scheme is operated by the Irish Universities Association (IUA) www.iua.ie who set the policy criteria for the scheme.

Admissions under the HEAR scheme are regulated by the higher education institutions themselves. Each institution determines its own admissions policy in relation to the scheme, the number of places they reserve and the allocation of those places.

Applications to the scheme are submitted to the Central Applications Office (CAO) who coordinate the scheme for participating institutions.

As such, The Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science as no role in the policy criteria or operation of the scheme.

All enquiries should be directed to the CAO, www.cao.ie through the ‘contact us’ facility where the HEAR co-ordinator will respond directly and advise appropriately.
