Postgraduate Applications Centre
- Postgraduate Applications Centre
Postgraduate Applications Centre (PAC) is an organisation that processes entry into certain taught postgraduate courses in the Republic of Ireland.
The system is currently in an early stage of development and only Dublin City University and certain colleges of the National University of Ireland are affiliated as well as Dublin Institute of Technology. The centre is modelled on the Central Applications Office and is based in the same building in Galway; as with the Central Applications Office educational institutions set the standards necessary to enter courses with the centre acting only as a clearing house.
The centre was founded in 1998 by the National University of Ireland to simplify the processing of applications to the Higher Diploma in Education which is a popular course in the university's constituent universities, and a requirement to enter the teaching profession in Ireland.
Commencing in 2005 Dublin City University will accept applications for all taught postgraduate courses through the centre, this program is in a pilot stage. Postgraduate research programmes applications will continue to be processed by the university.
