BIMM Institute Dublin

2 H5s and 4 O6s at Leaving Certificate (or 5 Distinctions at FETAC/QQI Level 5), plus up to 600 additional points awarded at mandatory audition

BIMM Dublin's own how-to-apply page confirms the Leaving Cert floor and the audition-points structure; a separate search-corroborated source confirms the course (CAO code TU961) is a four-year degree validated by Technological University Dublin, applied for via CAO, with the standard Leaving Cert academic floor stacked with up to 600 audition points -- A genuinely new institution type among the schools listed here: a popular/commercial-music conservatoire (auditions for guitar, bass, drums, vocals, songwriting, or music production streams), distinct from the classical conservatoires already listed (Royal Academy of Music, Royal Irish Academy of Music, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland). No SAT/ACT figure published anywhere checked. International tuition (EUR 13,500/year, payable to TU Dublin as the validating body rather than BIMM directly) confirmed on BIMM's own fees-finance page.
