RC005 Pharmacy at RCSI: CAO points 2026

RC005 is a level 8 honours degree at RCSI University of Medicine & Health Sciences in Dublin, and the CAO files it under health. The CAO has published a round one points figure for it in every one of the 7 admission years held here. In 6 of those years the places at the figure went to a random draw among the applicants on it.

It reached its highest figure of 613 in 2021 and has not risen since, closing at 578 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.
