CAS stands for College Application Services. ULink College provides expert advice and guidance on choosing colleges majors, entry requirements, essay and personal statement writing, application procedures, and career planning etc.

College and careers planning begins as soon as a student joins us. From Grade 9 onwards every student´s progress is monitored individually, through the school by one-to-one guidance with our CAS advisers.

Junior and senior seminars are provided to G11 and G12 students once a week to prepare them for studying abroad. Students can learn about the practicalities of applying to college, the experience of being there and how to cope with the university life.

Our college advisers monitor the progress all the way through to admission into university. As a result we are proud of our 100% record of university acceptance.
