UCC Agency Overview

University College Cork (UCC) recognises that in certain regions, many of our prospective students choose to use educational consultants or recruitment agencies to guide them through the process of applying to university overseas. 

In order to best serve the needs of students, UCC endeavours to ensure that partner agencies meet its ethical standards and conform to international best practice. University College Cork issues guidelines to provide a framework for agencies who wish to work with the university for the purpose of recruiting international students to its degree programmes.

Agencies are expected to operate in an open and transparent manner and to conform to the ethical framework provided by the April 2012 London statement issued jointly by the British, Irish, New Zealand and Australian Governments and conduct their business according to the major principles outlined below.
