In the case that we have more applications than places on a progression pathway from SEAM+: There are 7 progression pathways from UCD SEAM+ to UCD degrees: Science, Computer Science, Agricultural Science, Sustainability, Engineering, Medicine, and Veterinary Medicine. Each degree pathway has a set number of places. On application if one pathway is oversubscribed, we will encourage applicants to consider the other degree paths/alternative pathways. If more students with a GPA over 3.08 apply than there are places available, the places will go to those with the highest GPAs first. Please note: The purpose of this pathway is to provide access to those who have not yet had the opportunity to attend university. Those who have successfully completed a QQI Level 8 degree will not be considered. Those with a QQI Level 7 degree without a progression pathway to obtain a Level 8 may be considered.
