I graduated from the course in June with distinctions in all of my modules. I’m now in my first year in UCC studying Medical and Health Sciences. I didn’t perform as well as I’d hoped for in the Leaving Certificate but thankfully, the Pre-University Science course was essentially the one qualification that helped me to secure my place on such a highly competitive course. That experience has benefited me in so many ways.
