University College Dublin (NUI) points 2026
38 courses in the CAO points charts for 2026, from 400 to 625.
On the year before, 4 of its courses went up, 14 came down and 19 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 They may have been renamed, merged or withdrawn, so check with the college before counting on one.
