We are delighted to be the first PLC course in Ireland to offer students the opportunity to progress to TR033, Trinity College’s Level 8 Computer Science Degree. TR033 is a hugely sought-after course which required 555 CAO points in 2022. As the only Computer Science PLC course nationwide offering the ‘Maths for STEM 5N0556’ module, CDCFE students are uniquely placed to satisfy TCD’s QQI/FET access requirements for TR033.
There is also a high success rate for our students through our advanced progression links into:
