Art points 2026
Art is offered at 7 colleges in Ireland. None of them publishes a figure on the CAO points scale, so there is no points range here to compare. The CAO files it under arts.
Where it is offered, and what it took
Round one points for each college, year by year. A dash means the course did not run that year, or no figure was published. The last column is the change on the previous year the course ran, which for most is 2026 against 2025.
Some colleges appear twice below with the same course name. Where the level differs, one is an honours degree and the other is not, and the points differ accordingly. Where the level is the same, the college teaches on more than one campus and the CAO lists each under its own code, so the code is what tells them apart.
# beside a course, an interview, portfolio, audition or test is required. Beside a figure, that assessment is included in the number, which is why it can be above 625. * not everyone on that score was offered a place, so places were drawn at random among applicants on it.
Why some figures here are above 625
625 is the most anyone can score on Leaving Certificate points alone. The courses marked # above are assessed partly on a portfolio, an audition or an entrance test, and the published figure adds that assessment to the points. So it sits on its own scale and can run well past 625.
A figure of 900 does not mean 900 points. It means points plus a portfolio mark, and you cannot compare your own total against it. That is also why the calculator leaves these courses out when it works out what your points would have reached.
Reading this table
None of these numbers is a threshold. Each is the points of the last applicant offered a place that year, so it describes where the queue was cut rather than a standard the college set. What moves them.
