The  UCC PLUS+ Schools Outreach Programme has been designed and developed in partnership with our DEIS schools and continuously evolves in response to the needs of students. UCC PLUS⁺ currently works with 31 linked secondary schools in Cork, Kerry and Waterford (List of Linked Schools).  The programme consists of a variety of activities and initiatives both school and campus-based from 1^st year through to Leaving Cert.  The Aim of the Schools Outreach Programme is to:

• Raise the aspirations of students and parents.
• Establish connections between students, parents, school and UCC.
• Introduce students to UCC and the UCC student experience.
• Enhance students’ academic performance and their ability to compete for university places.
• Promote the HEAR Scheme as a college entry mechanism.
• Support students and parents in completing a HEAR application.
