"I decided to complete the MSc Nursing (Public Health) at UCD. UCD has a reputation as an academic stronghold. Personally, this was a drawing factor for me. With regard to the course structure the lectures were one evening a week. Each one acted as a stepping stone to guide you towards your end goal of completing your dissertation. The course co-ordinators provided structured targets with achievable time frames that allowed you to complete the work and gain momentum. All students also had the support of a link lecturer and a supervisor who advised on the dissertation itself. They could not have been more supportive and were so knowledgeable it gave great confidence that although daunting at times you could achieve what you set out to. The course gave me the confidence to continue to pursue further academic achievements in the near future."
