UCAS stands for the 'Universities and Colleges Admissions Service'. We are the organisation responsible for managing applications to higher education courses in the UK.  There is a steady number of students applying to colleges outside of Ireland.  The main reason why students apply to the UK is twofold. Theis is a wide variety of courses available in excellent colleges.  Also, certain courses are more accessible then those in Irish colleges. 

Fees in the UK range from £3000-£9000.  Scottish universities see 400-500 new students starting each year.

Testimonials I

James helped me to fill in an application form for a job I was applying for, and made me think about the job application process in a new way, as well as giving me great feedback on what I'd already done. It was great to meet someone who could facilitate me so easily, and so quickly within a couple of days of 1st contact to the deadline I'd to have the form sent in for. Thanks James!

James helped my daughter apply to a course in Scotland. She was interested in a specific course and he gave her great advise for writing a personal statement and helped her with her application. She has started in Scotland this year and loves her course. James was great and made the process so easy.

My daughter was confused and struggling with course choices etc. for a while. After her meeting with James she was palpably relieved. James gave her a greater understanding of all things CAO related, thus taking a weight off of her mind & mine. I would recommend James to my friends and acquaintances.
