CAO Information Session

Wednesday 13th January: 3-5pm

Who better to ask a question about a course you are interested than the student who is actually studying that course. We will have 6 live streams operating on Unibuddy for the duration of the CAO Information Session. You can click into a stream that you are interested in to watch student presentations and chat live with student ambassadors.

See timetables below for student presentations and a click through to the Unibuddy platform.

We are also holding a Career Focus Panel Discussion between 4.00-4.30pm, bringing together professional staff from DCU Alumni and DCU graduates to talk about how a DCU degree prepares you for the workforce. For this session we will be talking to graduates from DCU Mechatronic Engineering and DCU Applied Languages and Translation Studies courses (more information at the bottom of this page). You can join the session here.

You will also have the opportunity to ask questions to Faculty staff, to help you decide if a DCU course is for you and there will be staff available from the following DCU support services for Q&As:

Access Service (HEAR)
Disability and Learning Support Service (DARE)
Univeristy of Sanctuary
Sport and Wellbeing (Sport Scholarships)
Alternative Entry Pathways (QQI)

You can ask your questions to DCU Support and Faculty staff here.

You will find lots of information on our CAO Hub page including campus tours of all our facilities and recorded course presentations from our November virtual open day.
