University of Galway points 2026

66 courses in the CAO points charts for 2026, from 337 to 589.

On the year before, 19 of its courses went up, 35 came down and 9 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.
