Seven students from a wide range of courses share their experiences and advice
As a result, I spent three years working in management consulting in Dublin. While I worked with exciting businesses and developed a skillset in project and change management, it wasn’t what I really wanted to do.
At that point, I wanted to develop my expertise in sustainability and felt that the course would provide the best platform to achieve that goal. The main attraction to the course was the 37-week placement. As I did not complete a work placement in my undergraduate degree, I was really interested in gaining real-life work experience.
Having the 37-week work experience was a huge benefit to me when applying for this job as I would not have had the skills and knowledge needed for the role without the placement.Ernesto Batista-Sanchez, who studied MA in International Tourism, is now eligible to apply to the PhD programmeEnrolling in a postgraduate degree programme can have a significant impact on your personal development and provide clarity on a suitable career path.
The MA not only widened my career prospects but also provided me with additional professional skills and a network that accelerated my career possibilities. Therefore, I felt like this postgraduate study was really tailored to the work field and therefore prepared me well for my future career. Before the master’s, I was very intimidated by the term “research”. Having successfully completed a small-scale project as a part of my dissertation during the postgraduate programme, I now understand its vital implications in everyday clinical practice and feel confident to continue exploring in a much more informed manner.
The MSc in Immunology and Global Health at Maynooth University taught me valuable skills in research, networking, critical thinking, appreciation of knowledge, as well as aiding me to find a career I was happy in.
