Change of Mind Q&A

"I initially choose UL to study engineering because there is an integrated 8-month work placement. Work experience is highly sought after in industry, so that was a compelling factor while I was filling out my CAO."

"I’ve been singing and performing my whole life, so as soon as I heard about the IWA, there was no doubt in my mind about where I wanted to go after my Leaving Cert."

"My journey to Ireland was influenced by my love for airplanes. Since the age of six, the concept of flying a 70 tonne man-made masterpiece 40,000 feet off the ground through the skies has always fascinated me."

"After a scholarship to the United Space School, I met Dr Norah Patten, a past UL student. It was she who inspired me to do the course she did, so that I too could get closer to my ‘little project’ of hopefully becoming an astronaut."
