MY GMIT EXPERIENCE
Galway | Stephen McGinley, Killybegs, Donegal, B. Eng (Hons) in Computer & Electronic Engineering I heard good reports from friends who studied in GMIT, in particular about the excellent B.Eng. in Computer & Electronic Engineering programme. I took this into account when filling out the CAO form, plus the fact that Galway is a great city with a great cultural vibe. | |
 | Tara Lavin, ACCA Professional Level Graduate 2011 I graduated with a Bachelor of Business Degree in Accounting in 2010. I really loved the programme and found the study environment in GMIT conducive to exam success. | |
 | Aoife Collins, Clonakilty, West Cork Bachelor of Business in Hotel & Catering Management (Block Release) I picked this programme because of the wide range of work experience and placements it offered and because it was a natural progression to my previous studies in GMIT. I chose GMIT Hotel School as it's so well known in the industry, nationally and internationally. | |
 | Maurice Lynch, Galway Bachelor of Engineering in Energy Engineering When I applied to GMIT I was a qualified electrician working for a local company JP Cunningham Ltd. Because of my qualification and experience I was eligible to enter the second year of the three-year degree programme which I have just finished. | |
 | Joanne Murphy, Kilkenny and currently Nanchang, China Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Hotel & Catering Management (add-on) Bachleor of Business in Hotel & Catering Management (Block Release) From the moment I started in GMIT I have never been unemployed. It afforded me the chance to travel as the Hotel industry is global and learn a second language during my placement in France. | |
 | Huali Zhao, China and Galway | |
 | Paul Conroy, Galway City Bachelor of Business (Marketing) The four years have been great. The programme is challenging but so far there hasn't been anything I haven't been able for. One major advantage is the "hands on approach". It keeps us interested. | |
 | Gary Foley, Cork Master of Science in Environmental Systems I graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechanical Engineering from GMIT in 2008 and came back last year (2009) to do a Masters of Science in Environmental Systems as I wanted to gain skills in the growing renewable energies sector. | |
 | Edel Lennon, Longford Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Hotel & Catering Management I am in fourth year and have just completed my college placements with Jurys Inn Hotel where I also work part time. I started out doing a two-year FETAC Level 6 in Hospitality Skills, then the Level 7 Bachelor of Business in Hotel and Catering Management-Block Release. | |
 | Lisa Phelan, Laois Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Chemical & Pharmaceutical Science Job prospects are still good for science graduates despite the recession. I recently completed a Master of Science by Research in GMIT in addition to my BSc (Hon) in Chemical & Pharmaceutical Science. I had three job offers before I even finished college. |
