DC121 Computer Science at DCU: CAO points 2026

DC121 is a level 8 honours degree at Dublin City University in Dublin, and the CAO files it under information and communication technologies (icts). The CAO has published a round one points figure for it in every one of the 7 admission years held here. In one of those years the places at the figure went to a random draw among the applicants on it.

It reached its highest figure of 498 in 2022 and has not risen since, closing at 443 in 2026.

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 98 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 87% of them, so last year's figure is a weaker guide here than it is elsewhere.

No comparable numeric Round 1 and Round 2 pair is held here. Blank figures, AQA and marked new competitions are not treated as unchanged points.
