Atlantic Technological University has seen an 11 percent increase in the number of students receiving early CAO offers for course places this year.

The CAO issued a total of 1,711 offers in Round A, back in July, and Round Zero to prospective students at Atlantic Technological University this year.

People receiving offers in July for Round A, and this week in Round 0 include additional mature applicants, access applicants, as well as QQI FET applicants.

Dr. Billy Bennett, Vice President for Academic Affairs & Registrar at ATU commented, “ATU attracts learners from a diverse range of backgrounds, and we are delighted to see a marked increase in the number of Round Zero offers made by the university.”

“The impact that ATU has had on the region is starting to show in this CAO data today and it is fantastic to see the growth in interest in the university from within the region and beyond.”

Round Zero offers concern applicants who are not competing with those awaiting 2023 Leaving Certificate examination grades, or who are assessed on other criteria.

For other successful applicants, Round One offers will be issued on Wednesday, August 30. Round One offers will be available to view online only from 2pm that day, and successful applicants will also receive offer notifications by email and text message if they have selected this option.

The reply date by which Round One offers must be accepted is September 5 at 3pm. Round Two offers will be available to view online from September 11 at 2pm.
