DK769 Creative Media at DkIT: CAO points 2026
DK769 is a level 7 ordinary degree at Dundalk Institute of Technology in Dundalk, and the CAO files it under arts. 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 377 in 2022 and has not risen since, closing at 174 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.

| 2021 | 265 | 209 | |

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.

It has swung through 212 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 99% 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 7 of the 7 years held here. Round 2 was lower in 3 of them, by at most 56 points. Marked new competitions are excluded. This history does not predict a later offer.
Entry requirements
