Please use the Country and Qualifications table below to determine the qualification which can be considered for  entry to a DCU undergraduate programme.

DCU English Language Requirements

In the case of all applications, evidence must be provided of competence in the English language. Please visit the DCU English Language Requirements for further information. Published requirements must be met for entry to all DCU programmes in DCU.

Application Supporting Documentation/Evidence

An official decision on your eligibility to a programme can only be provided once an application along with all required supporting documentary evidence has been submitted before the application deadline.

To avoid delays in the processing of your application, please provide all required supplementary evidence for your application upon submitting your application to DCU. Please note that verification checks are carried out on documents provided in support of an applicant's eligibility. The Admissions team reserves the right to withdraw or rescind an application or offer at any stage during the process of admission, if it is found that a document in support of an application has been falsified. This can also result in your application being marked unsuccessful.

How to Apply

Year 1 Entry

Applicants presenting Non-EU qualifications should apply through the DCU student application portal, available here.

Advanced Entry (request to transfer from another institute)

Applicants currently taking higher education studies at another institution may apply to enroll onto a similar course of study at DCU. Credits earned in another institute may be considered. There should be substantial overlap in content between the two programmes to be considered for advanced entry.

Not all courses have an advanced entry route and it is a competitive process for a small number of places. A complete list of programmes permitting advanced entry can be found here /registry/advanced-entry-programme-list. An application does not guarantee admission.

Applicants presenting Non-EU qualifications should apply through the DCU student application portal, available here. When submitting an application, please upload a cover note indicating that you are applying for Advanced Entry. This should be supported by academic transcripts. You will also need to provide syllabi for every module that you wish to be considered for advanced entry. Incomplete applications may result in your application being delayed or not processed.

If you undertook degree studies in the EU and wish to apply for advanced entry, you will need to apply via the CAO. For further information for applicants with an EU qualification, please visit here.

Please note that if you wish to be considered as a Mature applicant, you would need to apply via the CAO.
