Student Experience

--Esdras Neto Coming back to education after 20-odd years was a big step for me, I also needed something that would allow me to juggle alongside a full-time job and family commitments. The first aspect that surprised me the most was the quality of the course and the Infrastructure around it, the online materials and portals are just top-notch alongside the campus equipment and online support. When the rubber hits the road, it hits hard. The effort to study and be on top of the lectures has to be considered, this is a 3rd level degree, but it's all doable since we have plenty of support and materials to carry us through.

--Odhran Doherty Going back to college at 24 without any experience in third level education created a sense of fear and concerns on how to effectively balance a full time job, football, family and other commitments in life. However, once starting the course I immediately felt reassured with the immense support given from lecturers and the online resources available which helped work around my other commitments. The on campus aspect further benefits my experience through collaborative learning with fellow students with similar ideas and thoughts. While it is a demanding course requiring time and effort I greatly feel the support given makes the course more manageable.
