What our Past Students Say:

“My two years on the Business Studies course in Coláiste Dhúlaigh really were absolutely invaluable to me. I did my leaving cert 8 years ago and went working full time straight after. Going back to study business was a daunting thought for me, but I very quickly realised from day one in Coláiste Dhúlaigh that I had nothing to be scared of or to worry about. It is very easy to tell that every teacher in the college wants nothing but the best for every single student that walks in the door. To me, 3 years ago, the thoughts of going back to study was a complete non-runner. But now I’ve just finished my level 6 in business studies with distinction and have just received an offer letter from Griffith College for advanced entry into year 2 of the level 8 BA(Hons) in Business Studies course beginning in September, an achievement that would never have been possible without the amazing support from all in Coláiste Dhúlaigh.”

“Jamie H.”

“I found the course interesting, valuable and rewarding. The course was well rounded, classes were small and teachers very accessible and reliable. The friendly nature of all staff facilitates a pleasant atmosphere….students in any difficulty always have someone to turn to.  The techniques I learned in Colaiste Dhulaigh gave me great advantage in my third level education and this is reflected in my grades.  I highly recommend this college to anyone.”
