Testimonial

I have always been interested in this area of science, and I know the career I want. I was offered the degree course I applied for through CAO, but I didn’t feel I was ready to take it on. The staff and facilities at Carlow Institute were fantastic. The year in Biomedical Science has given me the skills and selfconfidence to get the very best from the degree course now. I would recommend deferring to anyone in the same situation and building their skills here first.
