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.”
