Part-time Student Profiles

Marzena Czyzewska did the BA in Financial Services part-time. She says: “Coming from Poland I have been really impressed with the atmosphere in NCI. If you have any questions you can ask the lecturer after class or by email. I feel there is less distance between the lecturer and the students. I have also made some really good friends in the class and am really enjoying the course.”

  

Ian Gillan took the Certificate in First Line Management: “Before I did the course I was a site carpenter working on a bench or on a building site. The course gave me the foundation I needed and certainly taught me to manage and motivate people as well as negotiation skills. I am now a site supervisor and manage a team of twenty people. Going to NCI opened doors for me and helped me get the job I have today.”

 

 

Olaribigbe Taiwo is taking a short part-time programme in Finance and says: “The college location and amenities are really good. The learning environment is very positive and the staff are very helpful.”

 

 

Jenny Cox is studying the BA in Human Resource Management and says: “Juggling study with a full-time job can be difficult but the central location of the college with the train and LUAS on the doorstep makes it much easier.”

 

   

Eugene Gilsenan studied the BA in Active Citizenship. He says: “I have been involved in the community for a number of years yet I had never been trained to do it. The course gave me a new perspective and will be really helpful for my work in the future. Whatever happens I'll always be an active citizen.”
