“If I look back to 4 years ago, I never thought I could get this far. I made a choice and it changed my life. I can guarantee you that MTU can help you achieve your goals.”

Ioana Cretu- Visual Communications (BA Honours), MTU Bishopstown Campus

“I graduated from MTU with many memories, friends and life experiences that I wouldn’t have expected. As a mature student it was tough at times, but it was worth it! I couldn’t recommend MTU highly enough to any mature student looking for that ‘second chance’.”

Andrei Kohut- Nautical Science (BSc Honours), National Maritime College of Ireland (NMCI)

“You begin to dream, talk, study, read and do whatever you are studying in every aspect of your life. I would not change what I’ve just completed for anything. Give it a go, take your fear and put it aside. It’ll be forgotten the moment you start at MTU!”

Gerard Daly- Contemporary Applied Art (BA Honours), MTU Crawford College of Art and Design (MTU CCAD)
