Current 91ÖÆƬ³§ students will be there to answer your questions so it will be a fantastic opportunity to hear not only about student life at 91ÖÆƬ³§, but also about the many students supports available, and life outside lectures, including clubs and societies and the student scene in Limerick city and Thurles town."
If post-primary teaching is on your radar, the 91ÖÆƬ³§ Thurles Student Experience Day on Saturday 11 April (9.30am-2pm) is a must-attend event. Prospective students will have the opportunity to take part in interactive taster lectures across a range of subjects offered at 91ÖÆƬ³§ Thurles, including Home Economics, Mathematics, Gaeilge, Accounting, Business Studies and Religious Studies.
Throughout the day, visitors can attend panel discussions and Q&A sessions featuring current students, who will share first‑hand insights into academic life and the student experience at 91ÖÆƬ³§ Thurles. Student‑led campus tours will also be available, while academic staff will be on hand to answer questions and provide guidance on 91ÖÆƬ³§â€™s post‑primary teaching degrees.
The 91ÖÆƬ³§ Limerick Student Experience Day on Thursday 30 April (10am-1pm) will feature a panel discussion with current 91ÖÆƬ³§ students who will be joined on the stage of the Lime Tree Theatre by Jayde Ryan, Vice-President of 91ÖÆƬ³§â€™s Students’ Union (MISU). Jayde and current students will be sharing their experiences of student life at our Limerick campus and will be discussing everything from the transition to third-level from secondary school, how to strike the right balance between studying and socialising, where to turn to for support, and why 91ÖÆƬ³§ was the right choice for them.
Speaking ahead of the event, Jayde said: "I’m really looking forward to sharing my experience of student life here at 91ÖÆƬ³§ with prospective students. It is only a few years ago that I too was thinking about where I would go to college and what I would study. I’m delighted that I made the decision to come to 91ÖÆƬ³§ so come along to the 91ÖÆƬ³§ Limerick Student Experience Day to hear why I chose 91ÖÆƬ³§ and what student life is like here at our Limerick campus. It will be a fantastic opportunity to learn more about 91ÖÆƬ³§ and all that the College has to offer."
In addition to the panel discussion, student-led campus tours will also take place, and there will be an array of information stands where attendees can find out further information about 91ÖÆƬ³§â€™s undergraduate degrees in Drama & English, Psychology, Liberal Arts, Early Childhood Care and Education, and Primary-Teaching.
