Niall Carr
When studying the degree I really enjoyed health promotion and public health, physical activity, exercise physiology, nutrition sciences and research methods. I love that after four years of study, I feel equipped with a unique blend of practical skills and knowledge in a broad range of health-related fields. The options at then end of the degree are amazing.

The variety of modules was good as everyone found something that they enjoyed. I found the delivery of the course was very effective as it consisted of lectures, practicals, and workshops. I loved how the course also included awards that were built into it such as the fitness instructor award.

The course is definitely a great asset to anybody thinking of studying physio, occupational therapy, radiography – to be honest the list goes on. Every single module I covered in my time in ATU Sligo – and I mean every single one – has helped me more than I could have even imagined in the physio course I’m currently studying. Everything I am studying now relates to what we were taught in Health and Exercise Science.

I really enjoyed the modules during my studies in ATU Sligo, but Functional Anatomy and Kinesiology was certainly my favourite. It was one of the modules most closely related to my current field of study.
