What do students think about the courses?
“I currently work as a diagnostic technologist in Abbott Diagnostics Division,” said Sinead Curran, a recent graduate. “I found the course to be very accommodating, friendly, and suitable for all levels. I believe this course helped me get work as I was more confident and knowledgeable on industry. The practicals involved give a person some experience working in a laboratory setting and the techniques used in industry. The assignments are either in the form of what project work which would be like in industry, or on very relevant up-to-date topics. I fully recommend this course to anyone wanting to pursue a career in the science industry.”
Upcoming open days
Open days will be held on October 11 in the Clayton Hotel, Galway, and on October 12 in the Westwood Hotel, Galway.
