TR277 English Literature/Modern at TCD: CAO points 2026 (last run)
TR277 is a level 8 honours degree at Trinity College Dublin in Dublin, and the CAO files it under arts. The CAO has published a round one points figure for it in 2 of the 7 admission years held here, from 2020 onwards. In one of those years the places at the figure went to a random draw among the applicants on it.
It has risen in every year held here, from 498 in 2020 to 554 in 2021.
No figure has been published for this course since 2021, so it appears to have stopped running. The CAO publishes points rather than closures, so check cao.ie (opens in a new tab) before you rule it out, and see what else teaches Modern Language.
2021 round one
Work out your points and this page will show where your total sits against this course.
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.

Entry requirements
Points are only half of an offer. The subject requirements for this course are set by Trinity College Dublin 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.
