Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • Undergraduate Computer Science CSSA, 2027 CBSE/CISCE table: 80% best-five recognised subject average and maths at XII 80% or X 85%; other boards must contact UCD.
  • Postgraduate T150: upper-second-class/equivalent computing-related degree or three years' relevant industrial experience.
  • T195 Conversion instead targets graduates of another discipline with required mathematical preparation.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • The cited postgraduate computing pages list IELTS 6.5 with no component below 6.0 or equivalent.
  • UCD's India undergraduate page separately lists qualifying CBSE/ISC English evidence or approved tests.
  • Check the course and accepted exemption rather than promising a universal English-medium waiver.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • The cited undergraduate and postgraduate computing programmes list September.
  • T150's full-time September 2027 route opened 1 October 2026.
  • The part-time T151 route is not presented on the course page as suitable for international non-EEA applicants; do not confuse its fee or duration with T150.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • Programme-dependent: the checked T150 page lists the September 2027 application route but no verified final 2027 closing date.
  • Do not reuse an archived August 2025 deadline or an October opening date as a closing date.
  • Confirm availability and the final non-EU deadline in the current UCD application portal.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • The T195 course page quotes EUR29,500 as the full programme fee for first-year non-EU entrants in 2026/27 to the 16-month Conversion MSc. It is not an annual fee or a 2027/28 quote.
  • A current numerical 2027/28 fee has not been confirmed here; obtain the precise course-code quote from UCD before budgeting.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • UCD Global lists scholarships for eligible international offer holders.
  • A programme offer is needed before scholarship consideration/application; country, course and current award terms matter.
  • Do not apply EU-only computing fee-waiver announcements to non-EU applicants or promise an award without confirmation.
