Disability and Learning Supports
Coláiste Dhúlaigh CFE is committed to providing an inclusive learning environment to all its students. In this regard, we welcome students with disabilities and learning needs. Students are invited to link with the Disability and Learning Support Team early in their application process and before the start of the course.
Both the BA (Hons) in Animation and the BA (Hons) in Film & Television Production top up degree years have been granted funding from Springboard that students can access.
You can find information about the Animation degree on the Springboard website HERE.
I am interested in becoming an engineer. Does Coláiste Dhúlaigh College of Further Education offer a PLC course that might help me on my journey? We offer two one-year courses that may be of interest to you; Preliminary Engineering and Engineering Technology.
I would like to progress to a university course after studying at Coláiste Dhúlaigh. Which of the two courses will help me to do this? Both Preliminary Engineering and Engineering Technology give students opportunities to progress to university. Your choice of PLC course will depend on the specific university and course you’d like to progress into.
Are there any specific academic criteria for entry into either Preliminary Engineering or Engineering Technology?
Preliminary Engineering has a minimum entry requirement of an O3 or H6 in Leaving Certificate Maths, or similar. Mature students will be assessed on an individual basis, depending on circumstances. Applicants with Leaving Cert Applied will not be considered.
Engineering Technology will accept applicants with Leaving Certificate, Leaving Cert Applied, or equivalent.
I’m not interested in progressing into a university course and would instead like to get an apprenticeship. Will either of your courses help me to do this? Engineering Technology has been designed not only to help students progress to university courses but also those wishing to enter apprenticeship programmes.
If I complete the Engineering Technology course, will I be guaranteed an apprenticeship? Not necessarily. Good attendance, punctuality, and demonstrating a willingness to consistently engage with course material are just some of the things that will be considered when issuing letters of recommendation for apprenticeship programmes.
What university courses will be accessible to me after a year studying Preliminary Engineering? As the only PLC course in the country currently delivering the ‘Maths for STEM’ module, Preliminary Engineering is uniquely placed to offer students the opportunity to progress to Level 8 courses in the following universities:
Trinity College Dublin (TCD):
TR032, Engineering (Common Entry)
TU Dublin (City Centre Campus):
TU805, Engineering (General Entry)
Dublin City University (DCU):
DC200, Common Entry into Engineering (Undenominated Entry)
DC190, Electronic and Computer Engineering
DC193, Mechatronic Engineering
DC194, Mechanical and Sustainability Engineering
DC195, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering
DC197, Biomedical Engineering
DC189, Global Challenges
DC123, Data Science
DC127, Common Entry into Actuarial and Financial Mathematics
I am interested in going to university and becoming an engineer, but my preference is for a different university course than the ones mentioned above. Should I apply for Preliminary Engineering? As things stand, the above courses are the only ones that require completion of the ‘Maths for STEM’ module for access. Other courses can also be accessed via Preliminary Engineering (the full list of university courses can be found on Careers Portal here), but each of these courses can also be accessed via Engineering Technology.
I have achieved the minimum entry requirement in Maths for Preliminary Engineering. Does that guarantee that I will be of the required standard to complete the Preliminary Engineering PLC course? Not necessarily. After four weeks of preparatory classes, our students sit an online exam in early October to determine their ability in the key areas of Number and Algebra:
Those who are successful in this exam will continue in Preliminary Engineering with the aim of progressing into the specific Level 8 courses listed above.
Those who are not successful will be redirected to Engineering Technology. From here, students can access a variety of other Engineering courses at Higher Education level, listed on Careers Portal here.
The course I want to progress onto can be accessed through both Preliminary Engineering and Engineering Technology. How do I decide which one to apply for? Engineering Technology is a less theoretical course, with more hands-on modules, project work, and a Mathematics module that is less challenging both in terms of course content and class time. It has traditionally been easier for students to achieve better results profiles on Engineering Technology than Preliminary Engineering, where students are required to commit to six hours of Maths per week and three hours each of Applied Maths, Chemistry, and Physics. If two applicants are competing for one university place, the one with the better results profile (i.e. six distinctions versus three distinctions) will be offered the place.
Do I just need to achieve my full QQI Level 5 award (i.e. pass all modules) in Preliminary Engineering to gain access to the Level 8 courses mentioned above? These courses also have additional entry criteria based on your results, as follows:
TR032 (TCD) – A merit or better in ‘Maths for STEM’, and distinctions in four modules (excluding ‘Work Experience’) which must include a distinction in ‘Physics’ or ‘Chemistry’.
TU805 (TU Dublin) – A merit or better in ‘Maths for STEM’ and five distinctions elsewhere.
DCU courses – A distinction in ‘Maths for STEM’ and four further distinctions.
If I meet these entry criteria, am I guaranteed a place on these courses?
Not necessarily. These courses have a quota of students they will accept via the QQI route in any given year. In 2022, these quotas were:
If more students than the quota achieve the entry criteria, the places on each course will be awarded to those with the best results profile.
I’m interested in Preliminary Engineering and would like to progress onto one of the Level 8 courses mentioned, but the entry criteria and university place quotas worry me. How likely is it that I will get my place in the course I want? Although the total number being accepted onto these courses may sound small, it is important to remember that only one other PLC course in the country (Pre-University Engineering in Pearse College) is currently delivering the ‘Maths for STEM’ module, and only ‘Maths for STEM’ students can meet the criteria outlined above. Preliminary Engineering enrols 24 students every year.
If I complete the Preliminary Engineering course and fail to achieve my place in one of the university courses outlined (because of the entry criteria or place quotas), will I be left with nothing? As long as you achieve your QQI award (i.e. pass all modules), you will still be entitled to apply for any one of the other courses at third level listed on Careers Portal here.
I’m a little unsure of my own ability to complete the Preliminary Engineering course. If I decide soon after starting that I am better suited to Engineering Technology, will I be able to switch? For the first month of the first semester, both courses run in parallel. Students will be able to switch from Preliminary Engineering to Engineering Technology.

Coláiste Dhúlaigh CFE Graduates nominated for IFTA
Two graduates of CDCFE’s BA in Film & Television Production have been nominated for Best Short Film in this year’s IFTA’s.
Best Foot Forward depicts a day in the life of artist Mary Duffy, a painter born without arms. The six-minute film is directed and produced by Film & Television Production BA graduates Sean Hart and Bill McHugh. It has been successful on the film festival circuit in both Ireland and abroad. Other nominations in this year’s IFTAs include Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast and RTE’s hit drama Kin. The ceremony will be screened on Virgin Media One on the 12th of March.
Sean Hart who produced the film, discovered Mary Duffy, from Newcastle Co Wicklow, while he was researching artists for a college project. Duffy has had documentaries made about her before, but Sean says “I knew that only a fraction of her personality and stories had been shown in the previous documentaries and that they also portrayed her through the same lens. She was portrayed as a woman with a disability who creates art, never simply a great artist.”
On receiving an IFTA nomination for Best Foot Forward Sean commented “I was still trying to wrap my head around its success on the festival circuit and the IFTA nomination came out of nowhere. I’m still in shock really. I can say with certainty that the film wouldn’t have been half as good if it wasn’t for the advice and help of the tutors in Coláiste Dhúlaigh”.
Film Degree course coordinator Leticia Agudo said “these films were made during a very difficult academic year, under the restrictions and hardship of the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Staff and students at the college adapted and strived to still make films under the circumstances, and we’re very proud of the achievements of all the films.”
Best Foot Forward’s producer Bill McHugh studied on Coláiste Dhúlaigh’s two year Higher National Diploma (HND) in Film Production before completing the final Top Up Degree year that is accredited by University of Wolverhampton and delivered on site in CDCFE’s Coolock campus. The film’s director Sean Hart studied the Film & TV HND in Bray Institute of Further Education before coming to CDCFE.
This year’s IFTA shortlist success follows previous nominations for Animation BA graduate Aidan McAteer for his short animation Streets of Fury in 2020. Applications for the Film & Television BA, as well as all other courses beginning in September are now open at www.cdcfe.ie/apply
