Hide-Minimum Entry Requirements
To be eligible for consideration for a programme an applicant must possess the minimum entry requirements for that programme.
Selection for entry to TU Dublin programmes will be determined on the basis of examination score except in the case of programmes which involve suitability tests, interviews and other assessment procedures. All suitability tests/interviews/auditions/portfolio reviews etc will generally be carried out during the period March - May each year.
Where a specific grade is required in a subject (H4, O3 etc) an applicant must achieve that grade or better in order to be eligible for consideration (H = Higher Level; O = Ordinary Level).Where a programme requirement is 2 or 3 honours, grade H5 or better on Higher Level Leaving Certificate papers is needed to meet such a requirement.
In the case of both Higher and Ordinary Level Leaving Certificate results, grades lower than H7 (Higher) or 06 (Ordinary) are not acceptable for eligibility purposes or for points calculation.
For the purpose of meeting minimum entry requirements, results from any number of sittings of the Irish Leaving Certificate Examination may be combined.
An applicant’s examination score will be calculated by adding together the points scored in the best six subjects in a single sitting of the Irish Leaving Certificate Examination.
Matriculation Examinations will not be accepted either for the purpose of meeting minimum entry requirements or for calculating examination scores.
Demand usually exceeds the number of places available and therefore examination results better than the minimum entry requirement are likely to be required.
When a number of applicants have the same points score, a random number is attached to the score for each course preference. This will then determine the position of each applicant on the waiting lists for offers.
Bonus Points Maths (Irish Leaving Certificate)
25 bonus points will continue to be awarded for Higher Level Mathematics for H6 grades and above. The bonus points will only be relevant where that subject is scored as one of the applicant’s best six subjects for points purposes.
Accompanying conditions:
The six best scores, in recognised subjects, in one Leaving Certificate Examination will be counted for points computation. If you receive a H6 grade or higher in Higher Level Mathematics then you include the additional 25 bonus points first, and then identify your best six scores. The bonus points are included in the overall points calculation only when Mathematics is one of the applicant's best six subjects following the addition of the bonus
Only one sitting of the Leaving Certificate Examination will be counted for points purposes.
Remember, you must first meet the minimum entry requirements in order to be considered for entry to a course.
Foundation Level Mathematics
Foundations Level Mathematics is accepted for some programmes within the University, students should check the individual course page. Where Foundation maths is accepted as an entry requirement for a course you must have achieved a grade of F2 or higher.
Foundation Level Irish
Our courses specify minimum entry requirements in English OR Irish. If you meet the minimum entry requirement in English then this will suffice.
For the most part the univesity will not consider Foundation Level Irish for the purposes of entry requirements or for points, however a grade F3 in Foundation level Irish is acceptable for meeting the minimum entry requirements for some Higher Certificate programmes. Students with an F3 in Foundation level Irish must have passed five other subjects with a minimum grade of O6 including Maths, students should check on individual course pages to determine if their foundation Irish grade is sufficient.
We do not award points for Foundation Level Irish.
Garda Vetting
What is Garda Vetting?
Garda vetting is the process of checking a person’s background to see if there are any issues which would make them unsuitable to work or volunteer in an environment with children and/or vulnerable adults.
The person being vetted (the applicant) gives written authorisation for An Garda Síochána to disclose to TU Dublin details of all prosecutions, successful or not, pending or completed, recorded in the State at the time of application.
Why is Garda Vetting Required?
Garda Vetting is required for students who go on work placement where such activity may bring them into contact with vulnerable adults or children.
Without satisfactory Garda clearance, students may be unable to complete the work placement module or other specific modules and consequently be unable to complete their course or receive an award.
When do I apply?
Once you have registered as a TU Dublin student you can apply for Garda Vetting.

Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme LCVP |
The University recognises the Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP) for admission purposes and results in the Link Modules element of the programme will be considered as follows:
Distinction 66 points
Merit 46 points
Pass 28 points
The Link Modules can be used as one of the six subjects for overall points calculation and may also be considered as a subject for the purposes of minimum entry requirements, dependent on the programme for which you are applying. |
Leaving Certificate Applied Programme LCAP |
Leaving Certificate Applied Programme
The Leaving Cert Applied Programme will not meet minimum entry requirements and will not be awarded points. |

Hide-What is... E-Commerce in Retailing?
e-Commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services online. This e-Commerce in Retailing programme responds to a changing retail landscape that is influenced by digital and social media. It was developed in the context of the impact on retailing of social, mobile, analytic and cloud (SMAC) technologies, the demand for graduates equipped to work in a connected, collaborative electronic retailing environment, and the need for retail graduates with advanced social media, platform, and design skills. There is a scarcity of retail/business graduates with advanced technological competences.
The programme addresses contemporary retail management needs that reflect the rapidly changing economic and technological environment. It aims to provide a broad technologically informed business education for future retail managers that reflects the changing needs of the sector.
Graduates who expect to find careers in these sectors will need to be competent in contemporary electronic business technologies. The curriculum reflects this by integrating modules on retailing, e-business and e-business applications, and addresses the market need for technologically literate retail managers for the dynamic retail environment of the 21st century.
Subjects covered include finance, marketing, economics, human resource management, entrepreneurial studies, retail management, retail analytics, retail marketing, international retailing, shopping-centre management, retail location, electronic retailing, internet technologies in retailing, electronic retailing infrastructure, database systems, mobile & social commerce, web analytics and strategic ICT & e-business.
On graduation, you may proceed to postgraduate studies leading to the award of MSc, MPhil or PhD at research institutes and universities worldwide.
