The best you can get!

Dec 13, 2015

For sure the experience of studying in DCU is the best you can get so far!
All the staff there was really helpful from the very first day till the day I left Dublin for the last time. The accommodation they got me was comfortable and secure, the facilities were great including football pitches, a complete sports centre with swimming pool and all the rest you may need and a pub with good beer and food.
I've spent one and a half year there and attended both English course and University. These two experiences were quite different but great in different ways.
On the english course the lessons were funny without losing content and the teachers committed with all the students. There were useful extra-classes like "Job interview" and "Conversation" classes, with the two best teachers ever. The IELTS preparation course is also a powerful point of the experience.
On the other hand, during the University time things get a bit more serious as you may expect, but the social life improves as well. There were great classrooms, labs fitted with everything you need to study and a complete library.
No regrets at all! I highly recommend DCU!

What would you improve about this program?

DCU science without boarders

Dec 10, 2015

All I can say about my experience in Ireland is that I had the craic. Despite all stories I've already shared there is one that I haven't yet.
Is about my college conclusion essay- all students must do it in Brazil- well after my exchange in Ireland I could reflect about some issues evidenced in Brazil that I only could see when I left. So, when I came back home, I promisse myself stop complaining and really try to make some difference. And that is what my conclusion essay is about: A business plan about a Brazilian cultural issue that I have figured out when I was in Ireland and now I am trying to implent it.

What would you improve about this program?
In my opinion there was a lack of communication between my university in Brazil and DCU. That is the only thing I would improve, try to make this communication better.

The amazing experience

Dec 8, 2015

Hi,
I went to DCU by a brazilian exchange program called "Science without Borders". I stayed there for 15 months, which I studied English, Engineering and researched too. It was such a good experience.
The school was always there to support me. I managed to met great friends there. The modules were such a good challenge for me.
Not to mention how much I miss my host family and the DCU accommodations. Try to go Nubar as much as you can, best burguer ever. And yeah, try the societies. :D

The best time of my life

Dec 8, 2015

I can say for sure that the time I've spent in Dublin was by far the most amazing experience of my life. I had all the support from the university staffs, specially Caroline Maggee, who was always up to help me and my schollarship mates.

My host family was incredible also, presenting me the city and their county (swords). Mary and Paddy McCallion deserve a lot of respect and I super recommend them as host family.

What would you improve about this program?
No program is perfect? Not sure, because this program was definitely perfect. I have no modifications to suggest, cause I cannot imagine a better experience than the one I experienced in Ireland

DCU's got enormous sport facilities

Dec 8, 2015

The great thing about dcu is its sport complex. With a lot kinds of facilities, we are all able to exercise every day.
I enjoyed going to the swimming pool twice a week, going to the gym twice a week and the very best thing was really the football peaches.
I remember one week I played football with some friends on Friday afternoon, as usual. But the great thing is we spent the whole following weekend exercising. Football matches, swimming, gym etc...

Questions & Answers

Is there any course offered on entrepreneurship ?
Answer this question
What is living in Ireland like?

It’s the BEST. I visited the whole country and fell in love with it. It is beautiful, with good air and amazing people, culture and food. I want to move to Dublin later in life, that’s how much I love the country.

What is your favorite travel memory?

I think my first trip to the Northwest coast of Ireland ticks this box.

I've been a city dweller my whole life so emerging from the car, following a 4 hour drive to Donegal, and breathing in the cleanest air, hearing the crashing Atlantic Ocean, and seeing the rugged beauty and breathtaking landscape will stay with me forever.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?:

The nature of international education is one that is constantly evolving to the demands of a fast paced and ever-changing world. Working in this sector requires an adaptable mindset that is constantly looking for ways to improve what we offer students.

I have become very conscious of our responsibility to Society to graduate the type of students that can add real value - and make a real difference.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

We hear so many here in the International Office, but one that sticks out is a student who came up to me at a student recruitment fair in India to say he had studied our Masters in Computing a few years previously.

During his time there he had achieved the highest award in his year (despite being dyslexic) and in his first year following graduation had developed an app that was bought out by a multinational corporation, had got married, and was now the proud father of 2 children. Such a great story!

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I think our School of Law & Government offers some really interesting programs but if I had to pick one, I think it would be the MA in International Relations. This program is extremely popular with domestic and international students, (and with good reason!).

Some of the contemporary issues facing the world today (security, conflict resolution, globalization etc) are all taught, discussed and debated on this program - and I think all future leaders (across all industries and spectrums) need to have a good understanding of these issues.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

DCU is recognized as Ireland's University of Enterprise and this has been integral to the institutional identity since its establishment over 30 years ago.

DCU works closely with Industry and Enterprise to ensure all of our offerings (academic programs, research, and most importantly, graduates) not only meets Industry need but exceed, and continually aims to pre-empt them.

In addition to this, through the DCU Graduate Attribute Program, a huge emphasis is placed on the personal development of each student - so really, we are not looking to churn out graduates.

Our programs are about equipping an individual to realize their potential personally, professionally and for the benefit of Society as a whole.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

I believe a successful company is one that carefully develops a strategy that is; cognizant of the environment it operates in, is equipped to overcome obstacles and challenges, continually reviews its value proposition, ensures all it processes and procedures are aligned with and committed to the strategy and most importantly, actively seeks out the customer perspective to inform and enhance future development.
