We reserve a number of places on the programme for students from DEIS and Trinity Access linked schools.

We will make offers of places by email to the successful students. We will also email your TY coordinator to let them know.

When you are offered a place, you have 5 days to notify us by email confirming you are accepting the place. Due to an anticipated high demand, we can only offer a place to students once. If you do not accept your place within 5 days we will offer the place to the next student on the list.

Due to the nature of this waiting list system and the extremely high number of applicants, we will only contact you if you are successful in securing a place.

We are unfortunately unable to provide feedback to unsuccessful applicants owing to the volume of applications anticipated.
