Ellen Woodward
Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computing
“Coming into first year, I was unsure of which area of computing I enjoyed the most. I got to experience both networking and software modules before I made my decision on what I wanted to focus on.”


Shane Porter
Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Sport and Exercise (Common Entry)
“I was recommended the course by a family friend. It was the perfect course for me as it had a mixture of all the aspects I really enjoy within sport (nutrition, S&C, performance analysis, physiology).”
Caoimhe McHale
Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Textile and Fashion Design
“The first year is a common year, where we were exposed to various disciplines such as Graphic Design and Illustration, Interior Design, Product Design and Textiles and Fashion Design. Initially, I leaned towards graphic design, but the introductory experience helped me realise my true passion lay in fashion and textiles.”
