It is the responsibility of the applicant to confirm that their level 8 degree is eligible for registration to teach at Post-primary level and PAC will NOT be held responsible if a graduate of the Professional Master of Education is refused admission to the Register of Teachers on the basis of an erroneous declaration.
The Teaching Council does not advise applicants on issues relating to the allocation of Professional Master of Education places or operational procedures of the Postgraduate Applications Centre.
NB: Applicants should ensure that they complete the online Professional Master of Education (NUI) Application Form correctly. Applicants should also ensure that their recognised level 8 degree programme is accurately listed on the Application Form. The PAC cannot accept any responsibility for mistakes made by applicants when completing the Application Form.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Admission to the Professional Master of Education [PME] and/or completion of said programme does not necessarily guarantee registration as a teacher in Ireland, or in any other country. National University of Ireland authorities, therefore, bear no responsibility for ensuring that PME graduates meet requirements for teacher registration. It is the responsibility of the international applicant to ensure that the PME is recognised as teacher training qualification by the country in which they plan to teach.
