Avail of Available Places at National College of Ireland! Available Places Facility Opens Today - 29/08/24
At National College of Ireland, we are dedicated to highlighting alternative entry routes into third level education. Students who have just received their Leaving Certificate results should be aware that the Available Places facility opens today, August 29th, 2024
What is Available Places? Available Places is a facility that highlights places that are still available on selected programmes for CAO Applicants. This means you still have the option to choose to study at NCI in September! There are a number of courses currently available on the Available Places facility, which can be viewed on our Available Places Courses page. Students interested in exploring NCI’s Available Places options can explore areas of marketing, childhood education and care, as well as business and data science.
How does Available Places benefit students? The Leaving Certificate year can be an uncertain time for many students. When all the stress of the exams has ended, some students may feel that they did not put a course down on their CAO choices that they should have, or perhaps when they have a better gauge of how they feel they did, they may wish they had have put some more choices down. When the Available Places facility opens, students have another opportunity to expand their CAO options or apply for courses they didn’t put down in the first place. For students who maybe did not get the exact results they were hoping for, the Available Places facility showcases course options that may suit them. Regardless of how things played out on results day, the Available Places facility gives all students another opportunity to expand their study options for September. We hope that knowing that there is always another way in gives all students some peace of mind as they make their decisions about what and where they will study this September.
Important information about the Alternative Maths Exam for Data Science
Students who put down NCI Data Science courses on their CAO choice list who did not attain a H5 in maths can apply to sit NCI’s Alternative Maths Exam for Data Science. Students who have not previously put down Data Science courses on their CAO choice list can do so now through the Available Places facility, and they can now also apply to sit the Alternative Maths Exam for Data Science if they are concerned about their maths result.
