YES NO Notes
If you were born outside the Republic of Ireland, you do not require Irish as a sub- ject for entry to UCD. Candidates from Northern Ireland and Great Britain pre- senting A-Level/GCSE qualifications will automatically be granted exemption from Irish, and do not need to apply to the NUI for exemption.
In certain circumstances, those born in the Republic of Ireland may claim exemp- tion from the requirement to present Irish as a subject for entry to UCD. Please refer to the Irish Language exemption informa- tion document and application form at
www.nui.ie/college/entry-requirements. asp for further details.
(d) Grades Required
Due to limitation of places, admission to most undergraduate programmes is based on the points system.
Applicants will need to achieve grades equivalent to the Leaving Certificate points required to enter a UCD degree pro- gramme. A maximum of four A-Level or AS grades, not GCSE grades, will be con- sidered for Leaving Certificate points com- parison purposes.
Minimum points requirements (see
www.ucd.ie/myucd/alevel) can change from year to year as they are influenced by demand for, as well as the number of places in, each programme.
To calculate how your grades compare to Leaving Certificate points, see the follow- ing table:
DN500 BA – Joint Honours – full time
DN501 BA – Joint Honours – part time (day) DN502 BA – Joint Honours – part time (evening) DN510 Economics DN511 English
DN512 English with Drama DN513 English with Film
DN514 Planning, Geography & Environment DN515 History DN517 Music
DN518 Philosophy DN519 Psychology
DN531 International French DN532 International German DN533 International Spanish DN541 International Languages
Bonus points for mathematics from 2012 for four year period: From 2012, for a four year period, 25 additional points will be awarded for a grade E or better in Mathematics at A2 level. Tis will apply to only ONE mathemat- ics subject of Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Pure Mathematics where that subject is one of the four subjects being counted for points purposes. NB: Mathematics and Pure Mathematics cannot be counted sepa- rately for points purposes.
A Tese indicative points are guidelines only. In the case of high demand programmes such as Veterinary Medicine, a numerus clausus may operate, i.e. a proportionate quota
may be placed on the number of students admitted to the programme.
A A maximum of four different recognised subjects, which are not mutually exclusive, may be counted. If you present AS grades they will normally only be accepted from the year immediately preceding the grades in the A2 subjects. Grades in the same subject in A2 and AS level cannot be combined.
A Grades A and E or B and D at A-Level are regarded as equivalent to two grade Cs for basic eligibility purposes.
A Only A-Level grades awarded at the same date can be considered for computation. UCD will accept subjects presented in the Modular format provided that the results required for admission issue simultaneously.
A AVCE subjects are not accepted for matriculation or entry purposes. UCD does not currently accept vocational or applied subjects.
(e) How to Apply
You should apply for admission to undergraduate courses via the Central Applications Office (CAO). Applications are considered for admission to the first year of full degree courses only. You can apply online at
www.cao.ie. Paper forms are also available on request from the CAO, from September each year.
If you are applying from outside the European Union, you can obtain further information at
www.ucd.ie/myucd/non eu. For further information for A-Level applicants and to access a points calcula- tor see
www.ucd.ie/myucd/alevel.
