Dublin City University points 2026

71 courses in the CAO points charts for 2026, from 342 to 602.

On the year before, 27 of its courses went up, 28 came down and 15 barely moved. That mix is worth more than any single course's number: it says whether the college as a whole is getting harder to get into.
