Education 2014: Your guide to third-level education in Ireland
With just ten days before the CAO deadline, this week’s Country Living CAO special contains everything Leaving Certs need to know before making their CAO choice.
Our Ten Magic Rules to CAO Success feature looks at the technical details involved in filling out the CAO form while also the discussing the wider issues students should take into account.
There is a special focus on the area of agriculture and food with an extensive listing of the courses available in the area. And, with a 145-point increase in nine years for Ag Science in UCD (and a good chance they’ll increase some more), “what will I do if you don’t get the points for Ag?” is a question being asked by many sixth years. This questions is answered in this supplement, with several back-up plans outlined. However, to help ensure you do make the mark, students who have gotten A1s themselves share their tips.
One resource of knowledge on college courses rarely consulted are the college lecturers themselves, who have seen hundreds of students go through their faculties over the years; they know the right and wrong reasons for choosing a course in their area so we speak to them to get their views on what type of person they think is the right fit for psychology, law and engineering.
