Sumayyah Otun

I’m originally from Nigeria and am really enjoying both my course and student life here at ATU Galway City.

I’m finding that studying Applied Biology and Biopharmaceutical Science gives a great foundation for a career requiring a scientific background.

The course is flexible and allows you to try a whole range of science subjects. It equips you with all the necessary skills needed in a laboratory. The lab sessions are interesting, and I enjoy researching and learning about new science innovations. The lecturers are fantastic and support us with our college work.

I really look forward to taking my six months work placement in my final year.

Student life in ATU is amazing! The environment is friendly and accommodating and there are lots of clubs and societies to get involved with.
