Every CAO course, alongside UK and overseas options
MyUniChoices uses course data from CAO, so students can explore degree, diploma and certificate courses at universities, technological universities and colleges across Ireland, then compare them with options in the UK and further afield on one shortlist.
- Recommendations matched to each student’s interests and abilities, with Irish courses first for Irish schools.
- Degree Course Descriptions for 110+ subject areas, written by university academics, so students understand what a course really involves.
- A university checklist and research links to compare locations, course content and entry requirements before the CAO deadline.
- Guidance counsellors can see every student’s shortlist in MyHQ and plan one-to-one conversations around it.
Entry requirements and points change each year, so students should always check the current details on cao.ie and the college’s own website.
