International Business and Liberal Arts are the two American College routes in this catalogue. They lead to quite different subject choices: start by deciding whether you want a business-focused degree or a broader arts programme, then compare the individual entry requirements.
2 CAO-listed programmesNCAD’s choices range from a common first year in art and design to named courses in fashion, illustration and visual culture. Portfolio requirements vary: Product Design and Interaction Design are listed with optional portfolios, while several studio courses require one. Check the exact code before preparing a submission.
10 CAO-listed programmesATU’s course titles make campus choice part of the search. Letterkenny options alone span business, law, sport, hospitality and creative practice. Look at the location attached to each code as well as its subject; similarly named programmes can belong to different campuses and award levels.
214 CAO-listed programmesIBAT’s CAO options centre on Business in Dublin, with separate entries in the Level 8 and Level 7/6 lists. The shared course name can hide an important distinction: compare the award level and progression information before deciding which code belongs on your list.
2 CAO-listed programmesUCC offers broad Arts and Social Science routes alongside named degrees such as Computer Science, Applied Psychology and Commerce. Some titles identify international pathways or different durations. Compare the direct-entry subject with the wider route, particularly if you want to keep language or overseas-study options open.
59 CAO-listed programmesMarino’s courses focus on education, including primary teaching, Education Studies and Early Childhood Education. Irish-medium and Gaeltacht applicant routes have their own entries. A degree concerned with education is not automatically the same route as a primary-teaching qualification, so begin with the intended award.
6 CAO-listed programmesCCT specialises in computing, information technology and business. Its two CAO entries are Computing and IT, and Business: a focused choice between a technical degree and a commercial one. The college also offers other study formats, so use the CAO course code to keep your undergraduate search on the right route.
2 CAO-listed programmesDublin Business School’s catalogue extends beyond general business. Options include computing, accounting and finance, digital marketing and audio production, alongside business pathways in law, human resources and information systems. Compare the specialism with the broader Business Studies course to see how early you want to focus your degree.
23 CAO-listed programmesTeacher education is a substantial part of DCU’s range, from early childhood and primary education to named post-primary subject combinations. Computing, psychology and business offer other directions. For teaching choices, read the subject pairing carefully; for other degrees, compare placements and duration on the individual programme page.
71 CAO-listed programmesDkIT brings together business, engineering, health, science and creative disciplines in Dundalk. Its computing choices are particularly specific: games development, software development, data science and AI, DevOps, and cybersecurity appear as separate routes. Choose between those specialisms by their curriculum, rather than treating every computing code as interchangeable.
69 CAO-listed programmesIADT’s range connects creative practice with technology and business. Film, animation, graphic design and photography sit alongside Creative Computing, Applied Psychology and Arts Management. Several creative entries specify a portfolio or audition, making assessment preparation an important part of choosing a course.
24 CAO-listed programmesUCD offers broad entry points such as Science and Engineering alongside named programmes in architecture, agriculture, nutrition and veterinary medicine. These choices differ in how much specialisation happens after entry. Veterinary routes also need particular attention to applicant type and the practical-experience requirement stated in the course title.
40 CAO-listed programmesDorset College has two CAO routes here: Business and Computing. This is a straightforward subject comparison, but the course names alone will not tell you how much programming, quantitative work or project study is involved. Use the programme details to compare what you would actually study.
2 CAO-listed programmesGalway Business School lists Business and Enterprise Management. The distinction is worth exploring if you are weighing a broad business foundation against a course explicitly focused on managing enterprise. Check the award and module structure for each code before making that choice.
2 CAO-listed programmesGriffith’s catalogue includes campus-specific choices, with Cork and Dublin identified in course titles. Business, accounting, finance and computing feature alongside subjects such as law and psychology. Keep the campus and specialism together when comparing codes; a college-wide course name is not a precise location or programme choice.
27 CAO-listed programmesGalway’s Arts options include joint honours and named directions such as history, creative writing, human rights, journalism and film. Psychology and Social Sciences and Sustainability provide further routes. The subject combination matters as much as the entry code when you compare a broad arts degree with a named programme.
66 CAO-listed programmesICD Business School’s two entries are Accounting and Finance, and Business Studies. One names a particular professional subject area; the other offers a broader business starting point. If professional accounting is your aim, investigate the exact degree’s recognition and exemptions rather than assuming them from its title.
2 CAO-listed programmesLimerick’s choices include several distinct legal routes: Law and Accounting, Common and Civil Law, Criminal Justice, Law Plus, and Law and Cyber Security. Global Politics, languages and social sciences create further combinations. Compare the balance of subjects, especially where a joint degree crosses into another discipline.
62 CAO-listed programmesMaynooth combines broad Arts and Science entries with named choices in areas such as biotechnology, media and education. Psychology through Arts is a different route to research from a standalone subject label. Primary teaching and Community and Youth Work also have course-specific applicant or assessment conditions to check.
44 CAO-listed programmesMary Immaculate College’s listings distinguish Limerick and Thurles. Limerick choices include Arts, Psychology and primary education; Thurles entries include post-primary combinations involving business, accounting, Gaeilge and religious studies. Start with the age group and subjects you want to teach, then check the relevant campus and qualification.
15 CAO-listed programmesMTU’s catalogue spans Cork and Kerry, with named creative locations also shown in its course titles. Computing and engineering include both common-entry and specialist routes, while art and design options can require portfolios. Compare campus, entry structure and assessment requirements together when building your shortlist.
112 CAO-listed programmesSt Patrick’s Pontifical University lists Theology, Philosophy, and a Theology and Arts degree jointly awarded with Maynooth University. The central choice is between concentrating on one discipline and combining theology with arts subjects. These are separate entries from Maynooth University’s own CAO list.
3 CAO-listed programmesNCI’s choices include computing, data science, business, human resources, psychology and early childhood education. Computing and Business appear at more than one award level. Check the level beside the code before comparing points, then explore whether a broad degree or a named specialism suits your plans.
11 CAO-listed programmesRCSI’s entries focus on healthcare and related science: medicine, physiotherapy, pharmacy, dentistry and Advanced Therapeutic Technologies. Undergraduate and graduate-entry medicine are separate applicant routes, with HPAT and GAMSAT identified respectively. Their admission scores should not be treated as equivalent Leaving Certificate thresholds.
6 CAO-listed programmesSetanta’s CAO choices centre on Strength and Conditioning, including entries explicitly labelled online. Compare the award level and delivery arrangement, not just the shared subject title. For an online route, check the programme’s practical attendance requirements before deciding how it fits around other commitments.
3 CAO-listed programmesSETU’s titles identify study locations across Waterford, Carlow and Wexford. Creative choices include product design, visual communications, television and media, and content creation; business and other disciplines widen the range. The campus named beside a course is an essential part of the comparison, particularly for related subjects in different towns.
152 CAO-listed programmesTrinity offers single-subject and combined routes, including Law with French or German, PPES, and the multidisciplinary BESS programme. Computer Science and Psychology provide more direct subject choices. Compare how each route structures later subject selection rather than assuming every combination leads to the same award.
145 CAO-listed programmesTU Dublin’s engineering choices include general-entry routes and named specialisms across Tallaght, Blanchardstown and city locations. Some titles identify more than one teaching site. Architecture, construction and product design add related but distinct directions, so compare the discipline and location alongside the entry code.
149 CAO-listed programmesTUS’s creative options include animation, illustration, game art, film, music and visual effects, with Athlone, Limerick and Clonmel named in the listings. A number require portfolios. The catalogue also identifies an Art and Design course offered jointly with UL, which should be researched as its own route.
