QQI FET Entry to UCD
Over half of UCD's undergraduate programs accept applicants with a Level 5 or 6 QQI Major Award. Admission is competitive. To apply, you need at least five distinctions, except for the Computer Science program, which requires six. Some programs also have specific QQI component requirements.
Apply directly through the Central Applications Office (CAO) since places are allocated competitively.
FET Student Guidebook to UCD will answer many of your questions.
For information on each programme and their minimum and component requirements visit the UCD QQI FET entry routes webpage.
If you are aged 23+ on 1 January of the year you want to enter university, and you are starting university for the first time, you may be eligible to apply as a mature student. Visit our Mature Years section for more information on mature student options.
