Morris STUDENT
Hi, I love UCD because of its fantastic facilities, its very friendly atmosphere and its clubs and societies. Whether studying on campus or learning how to be a nurse in the hospitals, you always feel well supported by both academic and clinical staff.
Tis makes the course very personal, which is really important in first year. Our classes are small, so it’s easy to make friends. Tere is a big emphasis on hands-on learning which you get to experience in your clinical placements. It is amazing how much you learn. I’m really glad I chose UCD!
