- [Major Changes Announced to CAO Entry for Undergraduate Medicine in 2027](https://findmycollegecourse.ie/major-changes-announced-to-cao-entry-for-undergraduate-medicine-in-2027/): Significant updates have been announced to how points are calculated for entry to undergraduate medicine programmes in Ireland. The new system, agreed upon by the Irish universities offering medical degrees, will take effect for students applying through the CAO in August/September 2027.
- [New Courses for 2026](https://findmycollegecourse.ie/new-courses-for-2026/): If you are applying to the CAO in 2026, you have more choice than ever before. I was at the Higher Options 2025 event in the RDS and spoke with several university representatives about new courses being added to the CAO list for 2026.

- [What you HAVE to know about new courses!](https://findmycollegecourse.ie/what-you-have-to-know-about-new-courses/)
- [Women in STEM](https://findmycollegecourse.ie/women-in-stem/): Last year I was part of a panel discussing women in STEM.  An engineer on the panel addressed the audience and she told them that everything around them had been engineered at some point in time and the danger of women not entering into engineering is that they will not be a part of the decision making process of what we are building around us.
- [Viewing and Appealing your Scripts](https://findmycollegecourse.ie/viewing-and-appealing-your-scripts/): Despite examiners doing the best they can, human error can come into play when marking exams. Scores may not be calculated correctly, marks may not have been assigned correctly or, perhaps, parts of the script were not corrected at all.
- [Three Hurdles](https://findmycollegecourse.ie/three-hurdles/): I was interviewing the CAO Communications officer, Eileen Keleghan, for an Instagram Live recently.  CAO applicants were allowed to send in questions during the interview.  One of the most common questions was if a student does not achieve the entry requirements to a course, but they get the points, can they still be offered a place on their course?
- [Researching Courses](https://findmycollegecourse.ie/researching-courses/): The CAO application form is very straight forward, the most difficult part of the application is narrowing down course choices or finding courses that suit the candidates needs. There are two course lists on the CAO.  There are ten options for Level 8 (honours degree) courses and ten options for level 6/7 (higher certificate/ordinary degree) courses.
- [Private Colleges](https://findmycollegecourse.ie/private-colleges/): There are two types of Higher Education Institutions available to apply for on the CAO.  There are public funded institutions and a number of private colleges with a range of courses available to CAO applicants. Publicly funded universities usually ask students to pay the student contribution fees when entering the college.
- [Preparing for the Irish Oral](https://findmycollegecourse.ie/preparing-for-the-irish-oral/): Orals are the speaking component of language subjects and, depending on the language, the marks contribute between 25% and 40% of the total mark. In Irish, it’s 40%. I’m regularly asked about the grade in Irish needed to meet the entry requirements for a primary teaching degree.
- [LC Advice for parents](https://findmycollegecourse.ie/lc-advice-for-parents/): What can parents do to provide the much-needed support to help their children excel in their exams? Create a Supportive Environment: Parents can create a conducive environment at home that promotes studying and learning. This includes providing a quiet and comfortable study space, ensuring access to necessary study materials, and minimising distractions such as excessive screen time or noise.
- [Grants and Financial Assistance](https://findmycollegecourse.ie/grants-and-financial-assistance/): It is not too late to apply to the Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) grant scheme, but any students who think they may be eligible and who have not already done so, should not delay. Susi is a state agency and the main source of state financial assistance for students attending further or higher education.
- [Getting a College Offer](https://findmycollegecourse.ie/getting-a-college-offer/): In the lead up to getting your Leaving Certificate results there will be a mix of anticipation and anxiety as students across Ireland find themselves on the precipice of a significant milestone: receiving their college offers through the Central Applications Office (CAO).
- [Final Weeks Study](https://findmycollegecourse.ie/final-weeks-study/): When the Leaving Cert exams are in sight, it’s important for candidates to make the most of their study time and to focus on effective strategies that will help them to succeed. First and foremost, it’s important to prioritise study time and focus on the subjects that they find most challenging.
- [Deferring your College Course](https://findmycollegecourse.ie/deferring-your-college-course/): With a CAO offer in hand, the decision to delay the start of your college journey can be a difficult one, often rooted in personal circumstances and practicalities. There are a number of reasons why a student may be considering deferral. Some opt for a gap year to travel, to volunteer, or to gain work experience.
