MA in Creative Writing (CKE10)

 

“I decided to return to Ireland for an MA program in creative writing because my experience studying abroad in Dublin was so rewarding and because my course at UCC is a perfect fit for me. During my semester abroad, I joined a creative writing club at UCD and met Irish students who encouraged me to write and even published one of my poems in their student journal. After my positive experience there, I researched graduate writing programs in Ireland. The course here at UCC is focused on Irish literature and is more practically oriented than most programs in the US.”

“While I have always wanted to travel to Ireland, I originally didn’t intend to undertake my graduate studies here. After looking at schools all over the US and Europe, Maynooth University won me over with its beautiful campus and its unique degree program. The MSc in Immunology and Global Health examines human health from both medical and public health perspectives, something that is next to impossible to find anywhere else. The program also offers a lot of freedom in choosing a summer research project, and I have the opportunity to work with researchers anywhere in the world”

“Ireland has always been on the list of places I’ve wanted to visit, and reading about Limerick made me think that it was a place that I could really flourish. Another big factor was the kindness displayed by the international office while I was still only considering Mary I. They answered all my questions and made me feel like I would be landing in a foreign country and already have people that I knew”

“I have lived in Ireland previously, loved the country, and wanted my further education to be in a world-renowned university. I also felt my Spanish was not at a high enough level to learn at the master’s level”

MSc in Entrepreneurship (one-year Masters programme)

 

“There are two Irelands – and I love them both. The first Ireland is the Emerald Isle, the place of green fields, soft rain and gentle accents; the country that lures millions of visitors each year and sends them home with warm smiles and lifelong memories. The other Ireland is the Entrepreneurial Isle, the hotbed of technology and innovation, of homegrown startups and international corporations. It’s that magic blend – of an ancient and modern – that makes Ireland irresistible as a study abroad location. There’s no better place to graduate from because there’s no better launch-pad for success than here”
