* Not all applicants on this points score were offered places. # Test / interview / portfolio / audition. AQA All qualified applicants. Data unavailable means no verified value for that round; it does not mean zero or that a course was not offered. Points shown use the standard Leaving Certificate scale unless labelled otherwise. Changed historical identities are labelled “History under review”. Commas in a source value are retained; these values are excluded from numeric filtering pending source-format review.
Only this published CAO code is used. Historical campus continuity is not asserted. Changed historical titles are held for identity review; no points have been transferred from another course code.
