DIFC students talk about their time in National University of Ireland, Maynooth
“DIFC was recommended to me by a friend and I recommend it to everyone who wants to prepare for studying at universities in Ireland and the UK. When I went there, my English was pretty good and I needed to develop my academic skills and DIFC helped me in achieving that. Besides studying English, we studied Research Methods and Critical Thinking, which are necessary for my next step – doing a Masters. Moreover, DIFC helped me to stand in front of people and present my ideas.
During the course, we get an overview about the Irish culture which is essential for dealing with people inside and outside campus. the staff are very friendly and close to the students. In terms of the atmosphere, it’s combined between the academic life and entertainment. Another thing is that it’s located in the Griffith College campus which gave me an opportunity to live the university life and meet other people from different backgrounds.”
