Message from Atlantic Technological University, Letterkenny – CAO Reduced Fee Deadline – This Saturday 20th Of January

Students can apply to CAO for a reduced fee of €30 before 5 pm on Saturday the 20^th of January 2024. The fee will then increase to €45 until the normal CAO application closing date on the 1^st of February at 5 pm.

Students do not have to put their final course preferences at this stage if they are unsure of which courses, they would like to apply to. They can simply and quickly add their personal details and education details etc and then when the system reopens between the 7^th of May and the 1^st of July, they can use the change of mind options to input their course choices.

While, understandably Northern Ireland Universities will remain the most popular choice among a large percentage of your students, we would encourage everyone to consider ATU as a viable alternative. ATU, conveniently located on many students’ doorsteps, offers a competitive option for those who might otherwise consider traveling to the UK for their studies. We encourage any students, or staff or are interested in learning more about ATU to attend one of our open days/evenings. You can find the list of open days/evenings  here
