NUI Maynooth Open Day

Hi Everyone

More Open Days for you!

NUI Maynooth are having their Open Day(s) on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th November. Once again it really is well worth attending college open days even if you are only considering attending that college.

Maynooth have posted a schedule of talks that will be happening on the day on their website at http://www.nuim.ie/openday/schedule/index.shtml. While these talks will be more focused on school leavers they will also be of interest to the mature applicant. There is also a section for mature applicants on the open day schedule at http://www.nuim.ie/openday/yourday/mature.shtml.

Gathering as much information as possible on courses that are of interest to you will not only help you to make your CAO choices but also assist you when it comes to the interview stages of the application process as you can demonstrate that you have thoroughly researched your choices.

College/University Open Days

Hi Everyone

A couple of upcoming open days for your diaries!

• DCU will be holding their open days on Friday 20th (10am to 3pm) and Saturday 21st November (11am to 2pm)
• St. Pat's Drumcondra will have their open day on Saturday 21st November (10 - 3.30)
• Marino Institute of Education will also have their open day on Saturday 21st November (11 - 4)

DCU has just launched a new degree in Psychology starting September 2010.

St. Pat's is a very 'mature student' friendly institution and both St. Pat's and DCU are convenient for learners travelling from Co. Louth. (Matthews buses stop within walking distance of both colleges).

If you are interested in Primary Teaching remember that you must fulfill minimum requirements in your Leaving Cert even if applying as a mature student. Get in touch with us for more information

Going to college open days is an essential part of your research into college courses as it allows you to get a feel for how long it will take you to travel to the college, what the college is like, the courses it provides and even an opportunity to speak to course co-ordinators.
