Scholars may receive a reduced points entry into UCC, but they must achieve at least 85% of the CAO points for the year of entry. Each talented student will begin the program with a one-to-one meeting with the Director of the Quercus Programme.
This meeting will involve an assessment of the student’s needs, following which an individual program plan will be developed and agreed upon for the forthcoming year.
Individual program plans will endeavor to ensure that participation in the Talented Students’ Programme will lead to a broadening of students’ full spectrum of talents.
