Dr Paul Hanly, Associate Professor and Vice Dean of Postgraduate Studies at NCI’s School of Business, hosted a webinar sharing useful insights into studying a part-time postgraduate programme in business.

Rebecca Redmond Trimble, who holds an honours degree in Marketing Practice from NCI, is now settled in Belfast, in preparation for undertaking her Master’s degree at Queens University. We asked her to share her NCI experience with us.

After completing her Leaving Certificate in 2015, Leanne Kelly felt that going straight to college was the right thing for her. However, she soon realised that joining a course she was unsure of in a big college wasn't working for her so she took a break from studying before starting her psychology journey at NCI in 2017. At that stage, she knew she had made a step in the right direction.

We believe our students are living proof of what can be achieved with a qualification from NCI, but they’re also proof that it’s possible to integrate student life into your existing working and personal life and get the balance right. Don't believe us? Read how Marian, current student of the MA in Human Resource Management, manages it all.

  If you're working in retail and are looking to move up into a management role, the Certificate in Retail Management at National College of Ireland might be of interest to you. This course has been designed in conjunction with Retail Excellence Ireland and we are accepting applications for January 2018.

“I had been thinking about going back to college to do an MBA for quite some time. I put it off at first because I was concerned about managing my studies with my work schedule, and with my family life. After I had my first baby, these concerns were even stronger. I was also worried about fitting in with my classmates and concerned I didn’t have as much work experience as they had.

At National College of Ireland we are delighted to offer a number of free fee places under Springboard, the Higher Education initiative for unemployed people. If you are currently jobseeking and considering a further qualification, Marion’s story could help you to decide.

Today’s guest post is by Robert Ward, Director of Student Recruitment at NCI, who has just completed the Coach’s Programme.
