Brian Farrell, Global Business Spain 2nd year
Why you chose DCU?
I chose DCU because it's the only university in the country which offers a Business degree that allows you to study in two different countries, offers paid work placements in both countries and credits you with two degrees from two universities upon completion
One unique part of your course
My course is unique in that I get to spend two years living, studying and working in the city centre of Madrid for my third and fourth year. They say immersion is the best way to learn a language so hopefully my spanish will be much improved by the time I'm done.
Best thing about DCU so far?
The best thing about DCU is the people and how there's so much more to it than just than just the academic side. Societies play a big part in your life at DCU and these offer a great way to discover new interests outside of your course subject. Since I've been at DCU I've tried drama, skiing, cave diving, media production amongst many other things! I think college is a time of your life where you should try as many new things as possible and meet as many different people as you can, at DCU you definitely get that opportunity
Plans after DCU?
After DCU I'll probably continue studying and hopefully do a masters in something business related.
