Following the recent release of this year’s Leaving Cert results, many students are considering their next steps. For some, the journey has been straightforward, but for others, various factors may impact their decision. These can include a change of mind about their chosen course, a desire to study closer to home, or a need to explore alternative pathways after missing out on required grades.
DkIT's Available Places facility is a valuable option for students in any of these scenarios. When additional places remain after all offers and waiting lists are completed, these vacancies are advertised through this scheme. It is important to note that even students who did not submit a CAO application can still apply through Available Places. The institute offers a wide variety of degrees beginning in September 2025, with additional places often available in fields such as Business, Computing, Arts, Sports, Science, Health, and Hospitality.
