DN300 Veterinary Medicine - Undergraduate at UCD: CAO points 2026

DN300 is a level 8 honours degree at University College Dublin (NUI) in Dublin, and the CAO files it under veterinary. The CAO has published a round one points figure for it in every one of the 7 admission years held here. In 5 of those years the places at the figure went to a random draw among the applicants on it and the CAO marks it as involving an interview, portfolio, audition or test as well as points.

Its lowest figure in the years held here is 589, which is where it closed 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.

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 stayed inside 12 points across the years held here, where the middle course of the 1,175 with figures in four years or more spans 47. Only 6% of them move less, so this is one of the steadiest figures on the list.

Comparable numeric Round 1 and Round 2 figures are held for 3 of the 7 years held here. Round 2 was lower in 1 of them, by at most 1 points. Marked new competitions are excluded. This history does not predict a later offer.
