50,000 offered a third-level study place
For half of the 38,118 offered an honours (level 8) degree through the CAO, it was the course at the top of their list. Another 10,500, or 27% of those getting an offer, now have a place available to them based on their second or third preferences.
With the possibility of two offers from CAO, almost 35,000 offers have been made for entry to level 7 and 6 (ordinary degree and higher certificate) courses. All but 5% of those are the applicants’ first, second, or third preference, including 28,203 (80%) that were the first choice on the recipient’s list of level 6 and 7 courses.
