University Applications and Careers

Many students think there is only one university that is right for them - only one place where they will be happy and successful. This is not the case! There are many universities that would be a good fit for each student. This is why the ICS University Counselling service provides guidance to students who are preparing applications to universities.

Students (and their parents) are encouraged to visit the ICS University Counsellor Cristina Alcoz-Zazu ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) if they need help or advice.
