UK Colleges (UCAS)
The English college admissions system is quite different to the Irish
way. For a start, you'll have to apply a lot earlier. The main
difference is in choosing courses. You can only put 6 down, and they'll
have to be related in some way. You can't just put down, say, Pharmacy,
Law and Business Studies. You'll also have to write a 1 page essay on
what interests you about these courses and why you would be a good
student. Then each college you've listed will send you back the grades
you'll need before they'll accept you on this course. College A might
say two honours Cs and a pass B etc.
For more information ask your career guidance teacher.
