My Journey to Third Level started with a small step – enrolling in a University Access Course – a step scary but worth it, and now I am studying for a BSc in Economics, and all the credit goes to the the fundamentals I learned in UAC and the tools were sharpened at Pearse College.
Zaur, UAC 18′ studying Economics in UCD
“Attending Pearse College definitely gave me the confidence and the tools for my degree course.
“Aside from the academic subjects, the Course equips students with very practical but essential training in research, referencing and essay writing.”
Connie Morahan, UAC’19 studying History and Political Science in TCD
“The year I spent at Pearse College has been an integral part of my time at Trinity College. I learned the skills necessary to succeed at third level. “
Rachel Merriman, UAC’18 studying Sociology & Social Policy in TCD
“Now in TCD, we’re constantly reminded of the requirement to be able to write clearly and concisely all of which was covered in Pearse College.
“Peer support is very important and the friendships and support that started in Pearse has extended to College life.”
Anne Fitzharris, UAC’19 studying History in TCD
“Without the guidance and encouragement from all the tutors and staff at Pearse, I probably wouldn’t be studying in UCD today. Having amazing tutors to advise, encourage, and inspire the pursuit of education is such a gift…”
