AI agents for engineering school admissions
At an engineering school, every applicant arrives with a different background: Leaving Cert maths and physics, a PLC course with a QQI award, a Higher Certificate, or a degree in another subject.

AI advisor · online
I’ve got a Higher Certificate in electrical engineering. Can I join the degree in year two?
That’s advanced entry. Published procedure: application and transcripts, then interview.
Does the degree include a work placement?
The brochure lists placements in embedded systems. Shall I send it?
Yes. Do I have to find the company myself?
The admissions team can help with that. May they contact you? What’s your email?
They want to know which entry route fits, whether they meet the maths requirement and whether the degree includes a work placement. Skolbot agents answer from your documentation, qualify the profile and pass the context to the admissions team.

See the dataOne entry route per profile
First-year entry through the CAO, entry with a QQI Level 5 or 6 award, advanced entry after a Higher Certificate, a conversion master’s after another degree: the agent identifies the applicant’s background and presents the route that fits, with the dates you publish.
- School leavers: first year through the CAO
- Below the maths requirement: a bridging course where you offer one
- Higher Certificate: advanced entry into year two or three
- International applicants: dedicated procedure
Specialisms and technical content
Cybersecurity, energy, mechanical, data, embedded systems: the agent explains specialisms, projects and career paths from your module descriptions and brochures. The more precise your content, the more precise its answers.
Work placements and accreditation
Work placements, time with the employer, fees, study abroad: the agent answers from what you publish. It presents accreditation as you describe it and never promises a qualification the school does not award.
A brief ready for the team
Background, entry route, target specialism, placement plans and intake reach the CRM with a summary of the conversation.
Frequently asked questions
Can the agent explain specialisms?
Yes, from your programme pages and brochures. The more precise your content, the more precise its answers.
How does the agent handle the CAO?
It informs and guides the applicant. The official procedure stays the CAO for the programmes concerned.
Does the agent explain work placements?
Yes: length, timing and support, from your content. For finding a host company, it points the applicant to the team.
What if the agent gives a wrong date?
The agent gives only the dates and procedures in your knowledge base. If it cannot find the information, it says so and passes the question to your team. It always points to the official procedure.
