Pictures: Kilkenny students visit SETU open day

First real taste of university life

The event featured presentations on all CAO courses, along with opportunities to meet lecturers and current students to gain insights into course content, career options, and campus life.

Dr Derek O’Byrne, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Teaching & Learning at SETU, said the event was about helping students make informed, confident decisions about their future.
 “Our goal is to help students discover the path that suits their interests and strengths. Open days like this are valuable both in terms of the information students gain and the connections they create,” Dr O’Byrne said. “We want students to picture themselves in an environment where they could thrive academically, socially, and personally over the next four years. When students find the right environment and the right programme, everything else falls into place.”
