Hi, I know this is a long shot but I thought I’d try here.

On August 3rd around 2am I met a guy named James at Joe’s Garage in Lagos, Portugal. We were both on holiday. He was from Dublin and was there with his friend Sean and one other friend. He mentioned he was around 19–20 and studying business in college.

We ended up talking, singing a bit of Rihanna, and walking around town for a few hours.

We said goodbye that night and I didn’t get his contact details, and I’ve honestly regretted it ever since.

I’ve been trying to find him on and off since then and figured I’d try posting here as well.

If anyone happens to know a James from Dublin who fits this description and was in Lagos around that time, feel free to message me. I’m happy to confirm more details privately.

If this sounds familiar at all, please tag them or share this.

No pressure at all, just thought it was worth a try. Thanks :)

Hi all! I'm applying to DCU for 3 masters programs, but im not really sure of my chances. I applied to MSc Public Policy, MA political communications, and MA International Relations (in that order). The grade requirement is an H2.2, im not too familiar with the Ireland grading system but my Canadian GPA is about a 3.0, so around a 75% cumulative average. I also have a good amount of relevant undergraduate research experience, but the DCU application site hasn't asked for any research related documents yet. I'm wondering how competitive it is, and what my chances would be like as an international student from Canada?

Also, if anyone applied to DCU for a masters, how long did it take to hear back from them?

Thank you!!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a 6th year considering applying to DCU and I’m really interested in DC292, otherwise Joint Honours (Law). I was hoping to hear from anyone who’s doing it (or has done it) to get a better idea of what it’s actually like.

A few things I’m wondering about:

- What’s the workload like?

- What kind of work do you do (e.g. essays, exams, presentations, group work)?

- How practical is the course? Is it mostly theory or do you get chances to apply what you learn?

- How does it compare to single honours law, if anyone knows?

I’m also trying to figure out which discipline would be best to pair with law, as I consider myself a creative person and would not like to get stuck with something that is boring. I’m open to anything but especially interested in options that would be fun and practical or that balance well workload-wise.

Also, I don't know much about DCUs student life and I want to know if:

- There is a good balance between study and social life?

- Are there many clubs/societies worth joining?

- What’s the overall vibe like?

Any advice or personal experiences would be really appreciated.

I’ve applied to the Cathal Brugha dental nursing apprenticeship that’s starting in September. There is nothing stated on their website about when we will know we are accepted which makes it really difficult to know when to start looking for employment with that uncertainty, I’ve emailed consistently with questions and queries I have about the course but I have not once received a reply. I have no idea if you’re accepted through an interview or where to even start when it comes to looking for employment.

If anyone else is in the same position let me know or if anyone has gone through this process and has any advice this would be really helpful!!!!!
