    My course allowed me to work on real-life projects. My favourite was the redesign of the Strand Road campus estate, as part of the Project Based Learning Awards. My group’s work was selected as one of the winning projects!

    We represented Ireland at the 2024 Summer Paralympic Games, and one of our proudest moments was when we received a guard of honour from NWRC staff and students when we returned to the College to host a Q&A masterclass on Sport Psychology.
