Testimonial

Carlow Institute is a very positive and accepting college that gives students a place to thrive and be motivated in their education. The course gives you loads of opportunities to learn about the law and gives you pathways into Third Level Education or jobs such as a Solicitor and a Legal Secretary. My favourite module in this course has to be Criminology as it has taught me how to see beyond the crime and how it can tie into communities and the daily lives of the Irish people. After my year here in Carlow Institute I hope to continue my Studies in the legal area doing a level 8 degree in UCC.
