From Post Primary To Third Level
Every third level institution provides excellent information on many topics, from course choices and accommodation available, to counselling services and other supports. These details can all be accessed directly through the individual institution. Whilst applications for most will be submitted through the Central Applications Office (CAO), it is also important to check what the application process is with each individual institution, as important dates for registration and course application requirements may differ.
