Testimonial
Looking back at the years I spent studying on the Business (Hons) degree programme at ATU Donegal, I can safely say that it was time well spent. Firstly, I received a top class business education from dedicated and inspiring lecturers who always sought out ways to enhance my development both personally and professionally. Secondly, the people I met along my journey made each day an exciting prospect as I looked forward to going to class, working on group projects, visiting organisations, and socialising with friends that I have made for life. Finally, the opportunities that have come my way since graduating with First Class Honours from this programme are a testament to the emphasis that is placed on providing students with the knowledge and skills necessary for their future career. Immediately after graduation I was awarded a scholarship from ATU Donegal to continue my studies through a Master of Business by Research. Now, the skills, knowledge, and confidence I’ve gained from studying on the Business (Hons) programme has enabled me to successfully apply for and be offered a scholarship to study a PhD in Business & Management at another University, something I could only have dreamed of before enrolling at ATU Donegal.
