HARD WORK AND DETERMINATION PAYS OFF ‘I recently completed a B.A. in Applied Social Studies (Social Care) in the Institute of Technology Blanchardstown (ITB). I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and would recommend the course and ITB to anyone thinking about going to college.

I sat my Leaving Certificate in June 2005. During this year I visited many colleges with my parents to see which ones would be both suitable and accessible for me. There were some PLC and Diploma courses on offer in the area of social care. I applied for these as I did not think I would get enough points in the Leaving Cert to get straight into the college course I wanted. I intended using these as stepping stones for the degree. I also investigated NUI Maynooth and ITB as these colleges were close to home and offering courses in Social Studies/Care. Social Studies in Maynooth was my first choice on my CAO and ITB was my second choice.
