What 110 points would have got you in 2025
7 courses closed at or below 110 points in the 2025 round one offers, 3 of them honours degrees, across 5 institutions.
Read that as history rather than as a promise. A course's points are the points of the last applicant who was offered a place, so the number describes where the queue was cut in 2025 and moves every year. What makes it move.

Just out of reach
Within twenty points above 110. Points move by more than this from one year to the next, so these are worth putting on a list rather than writing off.

Work out your own number
If you have not added up your grades yet, the points calculator does it, shows which six subjects counted, and tells you what the maths bonus is worth to you.
Figures are the 2025 round one points published by the CAO, read from its own points lists, checked 30 July 2026. Courses assessed partly on a portfolio, audition or test are left out, because their published score is on a different scale and cannot be compared with a points total.
