TU Dublin CAO Open Day - Blanchardstown Campus

At TU Dublin Blanchardstown · TUD Blanchardstown Main Campus Avenue, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15

Students and staff at a university campus open day

TU Dublin’s Blanchardstown campus opens its doors to prospective students, along with their parents and guardians, for a CAO Open Day in early November. It’s aimed at anyone weighing up options ahead of the CAO application deadlines, giving a chance to see the campus, meet current staff and get a feel for courses on offer at this specific campus rather than TU Dublin’s other Dublin sites.

What to expect

The morning runs from 10am to 1pm and covers campus tours, drop-in sessions with course staff, and general information for anyone still deciding on a course or pathway. Blanchardstown is one of several TU Dublin campuses across the city, and this open day is specific to the courses and facilities based here, distinct from the university’s Grangegorman or other open days held on separate dates. It suits Leaving Certificate students narrowing down CAO choices as well as parents wanting to see a campus in person before a child commits to an application.

For families in Blanchardstown, Castleknock and the wider Dublin 15 area, having a full open day at a local campus removes the need to travel into the city centre to get a proper sense of a third-level option, and it’s worth going even for students only loosely considering TU Dublin as one of several choices.

Getting there

TU Dublin Blanchardstown is on the Blanchardstown campus avenue, served by Dublin Bus routes through Blanchardstown and a short distance from the N3 Navan Road corridor, with parking available on campus for visitors.

While you’re in Dublin

Blanchardstown grew from the 1970s into one of Dublin’s largest suburbs, built up along the N3 corridor, and this TU Dublin campus sits close to the Blanchardstown Centre and the Draiocht arts centre. There is more to see across Co. Dublin.
