Testimonial
At the beginning I was slightly hesitant about returning to education having been out of education for a sustained period of time but it was a brilliant decision and I would highly recommend attending ATU Donegal. Within the sport programme I found it opened a lot of doors and gave me a lot of opportunities outside of ATU. I feel it was a brilliant and very enjoyable five years.
Shane Porter
Overall I had a really positive and enjoyable experience. The lecturers and students made it a lot easier because the modules were very interactive with coaching fellow students and younger students from a local national school also whilst also having group work to do with different class mates.
Careers
Popular graduate careers include sports coaching, personal trainer, fitness instructor, health promotion specialist, sports development officer, leisure centre manager or sports agency administrator.
