An eight-page College Choice supplement is published in print today in The Irish Times. And, of course, it’s also available online.
In our comprehensive coverage, education expert Brian Mooney outlines the six factors to consider when making your third level and further education choices.
And, if you are applying to the CAO this year, there are very important dates you need to take note of. One of those key dates is this evening – Tuesday, January 20th. Here, we give you more than 20 key dates, with links, reminders and information.
Elsewhere, Geraldine Walsh looks at what you should be considering when you are deciding on a third-level college and Peter McGuire looks at options outside the CAO system.

We hope there’s something for every Leaving Cert student (and parent!) in today’s College Choice guide in The Irish Times.
Thank you.
