The importance of a flexible degree
I chose Carlow College not only because of its flexible academic structure but also due to its strong sense of community. The college offers a supportive environment that fosters both academic and personal growth.
I liked having the opportunity to explore various subjects before committing to a major, allowing me to experience different fields of study and discover my true academic passions.
Preparation for postgraduate study
My degree has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of various subjects and critical thinking skills. These experiences prepared me well for my Master’s programme and fueled my ambition to pursue a PhD. The ability to explore different disciplines helped me develop a well-rounded approach to research, which has been invaluable in my advanced studies.
Shaping your own future
I recommend studying at Carlow College because it offers academic flexibility, support and a welcoming community. The Arts and Humanities multidisciplinary approach enables students to explore various subjects before committing to a major, ensuring that the students make informed choices about their academic and career paths. Additionally, the college’s smaller size allows for more direct interactions with lecturers, allowing for stronger connections between students and the faculty. Personalised guidance and feedback create a supportive atmosphere where students feel heard and seen, enhancing both academic and personal growth.
