GALWAY-MAYO INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
Próifílí na gCéimithe / Graduate Profiles Lorraine Lavelle
My initial interest in studying at GMIT Castlebar emerged from the fact that it was a local college that provided a course that I would enjoy studying. I commenced the Higher Certificate in Business in 2005 and subsequently completed the Bachelor of Arts in Accounting and Financial Management, and the Bachelor of
Business (Honours) in Accounting in 2009. My time in GMIT Castlebar provided me with the lifelong skills needed to build a professional career in accountancy. The combination of theory and practical work on each course enabled me to develop my analytical skills, as well as my communication and interpersonal skills. Furthermore, the help and assistance of the lecturers contributed to the friendly atmosphere and positive learning environment that is embedded in the college. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at GMIT Castlebar and would recommend the courses to anyone who has an interest in business or accountancy. After completing my studies in Castlebar, I went on to graduate with a Masters of Accountancy at NUI Galway and am currently training to become a chartered accountant and registered tax consultant with PricewaterhouseCoopers
Romina Fedrizzi
Hi my name is Romina Fedrizzi. I came to Ireland about 7 years ago and since then I have worked hard to get where I am now. I found out about the Bachelor of Arts in Accounting and Financial Management at GMIT, Castlebar through a friend who suggested I apply for the course. When I began college, I knew it was not
going to be easy but I was thrilled and excited about the new challenge ahead.
The course covered an in-depth variety of topics throughout the four years in college. The programme provides students with a specialised education in accounting and financial management and covered topics such as economics, accounting and tax, which was also my favourite subject. As I am not an native English speaker I was a bit nervous in handing in my assignments and also working along with fellow Irish students who were native English speakers but I found the staff in college very helpful and they gave me plenty of encouragement to keep going.
The best but the most challenging two years in college were years three and four. I established a good relationship with my fellow class mates and I found it very easy to talk to my lecturers. I found the lecturers very nice and helpful. The course gave us a good mix of practical and theoretical knowledge of accountancy in business.
Wayne Murphy
I graduated with a first class honours degree from the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Heritage Studies in 2007. I currently edit Tonnta (an Irish surfing magazine). I am also registered with GMIT Castlebar campus through ACCS, completing modules in history and Irish. Over my five years at the
Castlebar campus I have really enjoyed the experience from an educational and a social perspective. The campus itself is small enough so you get to know everybody, yet large enough to be a campus in its own right. The standard of education is very high and certainly has assisted me greatly in my career development to date.
I finished college last May and I am now working in the Accounts Payable Department in Allergan Pharmaceuticals in Westport, dealing specifically with the Italian market. When I was called for the interview I looked for advice from one of my lecturers and I found him very supportive and he gave me tips for the interview and my future career.
I was in a way lucky to have found a job in the current economic crisis but I believe that without my education from GMIT I would not have been able to get where I am now.
