More than 3,000 students set to be offered third-level places by CAO

More than 3,000 students are being offered third-level college places by the Central Applications Office (CAO) today.

The offers are being issued to 3,087 applicants, up from 2,446 at the same stage last year, and can be accepted up to next Wednesday evening.

With nearly 60% of places offered 10 days ago on honours (level 8) degrees in teaching, engineering, and technology being the recipients’ first-choice courses, there were offers today for only limited numbers of courses in these categories.
