Gained Experiences

Am last year PhD nursing student, going to submit the final thesis within few weeks.
I had my post basic course in Intensive Therapy in Ireland. I decided to continue further study in Ireland, where I had MSc Nursing in RCSI the past 9 years ago. Joined the PhD degree programs 5 years ago and here I am at the end of the journey to complete the doctoral program.
I found RCSI is enjoyable studying environment, where a very excellent academic support the students received. My sincere thanks to the supportive supervisor to my study, was so helpful and patience in providingme structured guidance. I received a human caring during the stressed time to accomplish all study requirements.
During my visits to Dublin, I found Irish Community were social, respecting the Muslim culture people.
Finally, It is my pleasure and honor to be a student in RCSI Dublin part of students at faculty of Nursing and Midwifery. I extent my thankful to the staff at postgraduates school office, they were so guidance and keep communicating with me throughout my study. Appreciate your efforts in student's guidance and excellent environment you provide at the postgraduate school at the university.
I strongly, recommend and advice to join the university to have the holistic study and life experience .

Rare commodity the Irish Community

I am a second year part time PhD student in RCSI Dublin .I choose RCSI Dublin because I had studded in RCSI Bahrain for my MSc Nursing degree ; during my studying time in RCSI Bahrain , I found that the teachers were so good, helpful, kind and their objective is to pushing you to study not torture you ; and for me that is what made my decision to join RCSI Dublin although I have been accepted by two other universities .
My gratitude to the Nursing school and postgraduate school staff’s as they were very helpful; and to a good, kind and patience supervisor that I was assigned for ,in providing for me the healthy study environment that I needed to accomplish all study requirements.
During my visits to Dublin, I found the Irish Community were Respecting the Muslim women and that is a Rare commodity , I really appreciate it .
Lastly , It is my pleasure and honor to be a student in RCSI Dublin and I advise you all to join the university to have the holistic study and life experience if you can afford it!! .

What would you improve about this program?
More management and leadership workshop and to send for us the times of Dublin's medical and nursing conferences

overwhelmingly supportive!!

I completed my undergraduate pharmacy degree at RCSI. I couldn't think of a better place for me, as an international student, to do my MSc . As the multi-cultural community and the supportive staff made it feel like HOME. It is a small college but it has a great reputation worldwide.
Moreover, the staff constantly seek students feedback to continue improving their courses and services.
I must say my appreciation towards everyone in RCSI from SARA office, students services, students union and each individual lecturer/supervisor who without them i wouldn't be the person i am today with this academic success.

RCSI Ireland

I have to say as a current PhD scholar in the RCSI Ireland, I cannot fault the support and attention I have received.

I completed a masters program here and a certificate in Nurse Prescribing all done in intervals because once I tried the RCSI I just kept coming back for more :)

The facilities are amazing and the location of the university is so central yet the idyllic and tranquil St Stephen's Green is just opposite for a handy escape ti an oasis when necessary.

I would highly recommend the RCSI for Postgraduate studies and will continue to study here as my career progresses.

Grateful

RCSI gave me the opportunity to do my PhD from Bahrain as part time student. There is no dental school in Bahrain and working as full time dentist, this would have been impossible to accomplish.
I've been given all required facilities to carry out my research project and with the help of my supervisor Prof. Robin O'Sullivan and the postgraduate office staff in RCS-Bahrain I can say I am very grateful.
I have attended lately a workshop on thesis preparation by video call, which was done in Dublin. I've attended it together with other PhD students in the college in Bahrain, and it was very helpful.

What would you improve about this program?
More preparatory workshops to be carried out either in Bahrain or with video call with RCSI-Dublin
