Chemistry entry scores in Ireland (2026): cut-off marks by university
We have official entry scores for 17 programmes (scale from 0 to 625, higher is better). In the latest lists the score of the last admitted student ranged from 311 to 534. The most selective programme was at Trinity College Dublin, the most accessible at Atlantic Technological University (Sligo).
Always check current information on the official website of the university before you apply.
The score is the result of the last admitted student, so it changes every year.
How admission works in Ireland
You apply for full-time undergraduate courses through the Central Applications Office (CAO): for entry in September 2027 applications open on 5 November 2026, the normal closing date is 1 February 2027 (late applications until 1 May 2027), and course choices can be changed until 1 July 2027. Places are offered by points: the best six Leaving Certificate results count (at most 625 points), other EU/EFTA/UK school-leaving results are converted to points, and the minimum subject requirements of each course must be met. Some courses add a test, interview, portfolio or audition, undergraduate medicine combines points with the HPAT test, and places on tied points may be decided by random selection. Applicants who live or have lived outside the EU may have to apply directly to the institution instead of through CAO.
