Accessing UCD using a QQI FET Award
More than half of UCD undergraduate programmes accept applicants with appropriate Level 5 or 6 QQI-FET Major Award qualifications. Places are offered on a competitive basis. A minimum of 5 distinctions is required. Some programmes have specific component requirements.
Applications should be made directly through the Central Applications Office (CAO) with places being allocated on a competitive basis.
