Year by year

Round one is the figure most people mean by the points. Round two is what was left after the first offers went out, so it is usually lower and it is not a cut off for the year.

A dash means no comparable figure is shown for that round. It does not mean the course did not run or that no later offer is possible. Figures are read from the CAO’s published points charts. AQA means all qualified applicants were offered places. * means not all applicants on that score were offered places in that round. # marks a test, interview, portfolio or audition; v marks a new competition for available places.

How it moved

Each row is one year against the year before. Left is a fall, which is the year the course took fewer points than the last one.

It has swung through 116 points across the years held here, where the middle course of the 1,175 with figures in four years or more spans 47. It moves more than 92% of them, so last year's figure is a weaker guide here than it is elsewhere.

Comparable numeric Round 1 and Round 2 figures are held for 5 of the 5 years held here. Round 2 was lower in 2 of them, by at most 72 points. Marked new competitions are excluded. This history does not predict a later offer.

Entry requirements

Points are only half of an offer. The subject requirements for this course are set by Dublin Business School and are not published in the CAO’s points charts, so they are not on this page and nothing here should be read as saying you qualify. Check them on the institution’s own course page, and on cao.ie (opens in a new tab), before you put this on your form.
