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 | 251 | – | |

| 2026 | AQA | AQA | Round 1: Everyone who qualified was offered a place |
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 moved through 37 points across the years held here, where the middle course of the 1,175 with figures in four years or more spans 47.
Comparable numeric Round 1 and Round 2 figures are held for 3 of the 6 years held here; none of these pairs fell. 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 Technological University 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.
