(vi) Research on Foreign Languages Provision in the HEIs
With the aim of promoting 3rd level language courses to second level students who are considering their
options PPLI began researching the full extent of languages available to take at 3rd level in a major or minor
capacity or as electives. The research was compiled through comparisons of information available on
gradireland.ie, careersportal.ie and cao.ie as well as the individual 3rd level websites. Collated are the
institution, the course codes, the FETAC levels, the languages applicable, the CAO points required from the
previous year and the foreign language requirements to be accepted into the course. Each HEI in the country
was contacted to proof the relevant information. In collaboration with Grad Ireland this information was
published in booklets which proved to be a good source of guidance for students with an interest in pursuing
languages in university.
