MIC set to run a series of virtual Q & A sessions for potential applicants

Posted on April 29, 2020

This time of the year ordinarily sees Mary Immaculate College (MIC) run Taster Sessions on the MIC Limerick and MIC Thurles campuses. These sessions, which are always heavily subscribed, give potential applicants an opportunity to get a flavour of college life via taster lectures and campus tours before deciding upon their final CAO choices.

In light of the COVID-19 restrictions MIC is instead offering interested parties the chance to ask our lecturers, and other key members of the college community, anything they would like to know about MIC, and its degrees, via a series of Instagram Live Q & A sessions.

According to Dr Patrick Cosgrove, MIC Student Recruitment Officer; Giving potential students an insight into what they can expect when they begin a programme of study at MIC is at the core of the MIC Taster Sessions. Even though the current situation precludes us from running them this year we wanted to ensure people still get the opportunity to engage with the College and have all their questions answered. The Instagram Live Q & A sessions will be of particular interest to current leaving certificate students in helping them make their final decision on what programmes to include on their CAO Application form and is open to guidance counsellors, parents, mature students and those seeking to progress from further education routes to third-level study.’

Whether you would like to find out about MIC’s various undergraduate degrees, the many social, sporting and cultural activities at the College or the range of scholarships on offer be sure to log on and get involved in the Virtual Q & A sessions.
