PAST STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

I am currently studying at Maynooth after completing the pre-university arts course at OFI. I cannot recommend this course highly enough. It prepared me for university course work. I learnt multiple skills including academic referencing. Personally, If I had gone to Maynooth straight after my leaving cert I would have found my current course significantly more difficult. Throughout the year I always felt that every one of my teachers supported me, always willing to give me feedback to improve and I could tell they genuinely cared and wanted to see the whole class progress to the next level of education
