IFY Science (Medicine) RCSI Dublin- "I really enjoyed the time that I spent in the DIFC and it gave me a new perspective on my academic background especially with English. This programme made me stronger to tackle any circumstances the first year in the university. Furthermore, the English skills that I have developed from this programme helped me to be a competitive student even with native speakers"
Hisham, IFY 2008 student now studying in the RCSI- "The foundation programme in DIFC helped me to understand the university life. I did all subjects which are considered equivalent to the first year in the university. Also the assignments we had were as same as university. In my opinion the foundation year in DIFC is an important bridge to the university, so do it."
Ahmed Abdullah IFY 2008 student now studying in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI)- "After my Pre-Master year in DIFC, I felt very confident in my Master, there was no surprise, I knew how to manage my time and to prepare my projects."
PMP 2008 student now studying in University of Manchester, Msc. Advance Computer Science with IT Management- "I very much enjoyed my time studying at DIFC on the Pre-Master programme and the help and support I received from the teachers and staff greatly helped me in preparation for my Master in E-Business at UCD. The subjects (English for Academic Purposes, Research methods and Project preparation techniques) I was taught on the PMP course at DIFC were invaluable tools to help me from the first day I started on my Master"
LiXu (Maggie), PMP 2007 student, graduated from University College Dublin (UCD), Michael Smurfit Business School- "I would like to recommand the IFY course, which is quite useful and helpful for our university studies. The teachers and leaders here are very nice and enthusiastic. If you have problems, you can ask them any time for help. Good luck!"
Elaine/Dongyue Hao, IFY 2009 Student- "At the end of my Pre-master year in DIFC, I felt I had developed a much deeper self awareness about my own core strengths and development areas. I gained enough knowledge about English, western culture and approaches of writing thesis. Moreover, tutors have great experience for teaching international students; they all take care of the students and give us time and assistance when we needed. I have also developed good relationships with classmates who are now friends. All of these helped me to make a strong application for the MBs in Finance at UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School and successfully graduate from UCD."
