“My experience in DIFC was valuable than any other experience that I ever had in my life. With the great support from the staff and the teachers I managed to get the scores that I needed for the university. I strongly recommend DIFC for two main reasons. First, Ireland is the country where it is amicable and welcoming with lots of things to enjoy during your foundation year. Second, DIFC staff members are well experienced and prepared to help you reach your goal.”
