I regret to inform you that there are generally no transfers between Faculties in UCD.

NB: In exceptional circumstances, transfers may be considered between similar courses from different Faculties (i.e. Science and Engineering).



In summary, applicants seeking transfer should:

(i) meet the appropriate matriculation and entry requirements;

(ii) have a points score sufficient for entry to the new course;

(iii) have passed the relevant examination of the year in UCD or their own College.

Alternatively, you may consider studying a Higher Certificate or Ordinary Degree course in Business Studies in an Institute of Technology and transferring on those bases.


It is possible to apply for admission to a degree course in UCD, on the basis of a Higher Certificate or Ordinary Degree.

Such applications may be made for admission to certain programmes in the following Faculties:

Agriculture Science

Engineering & Architecture Philosophy and Social Studies

Commerce

Application should be made using the official form, available on request from the Admissions Office, before 1st July preceding entry.


Eligibility

Applicants who have obtained, or who will obtain a Higher Certificate / Ordinary Degree with Distinction/Credit/Merit from an Institute of Technology in Ireland are eligible to apply for admission to an appropriate course in University College Dublin. Admission is at the discretion of the appropriate Faculty and subject to availability of places.

Exemptions
Applicants with appropriate qualifications may be considered for exemption from some or all of the first year course.

Applicants for Commerce may be considered for admission to the second year of the degree course, where the content of the Higher Certificate / Ordinary Degree course is deemed to correspond to the first year university course in the appropriate subject(s).

Please forward your postal address if you would like to receive further information.
Kind regards

Basically, to summarise the above, if you don't have the points there is no way of changing.
