University College Cork (NUI) points 2026
58 courses in the CAO points charts for 2026, from 300 to 625.
On the year before, 19 of its courses went up, 13 came down and 21 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.

Courses and points
Round one points by year. The last column is the change on the previous year the course ran. A dash means it did not run, or no figure was published.
# the figure includes a portfolio, an audition or an entrance test as well as points, so it is not on the 625 point scale and cannot be compared against a points total.
No longer listed
These had no figure in 2026. They may have been renamed, merged or withdrawn, so check with the college before counting on one.
