Meet Susann Sullivan, a part-time Bachelor (Hons) of Business Studies student at Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT), who candidly shares her experience of returning to education later in life.
In her video, Susann reveals how her prior business experience earned her fast-track entry into Year 3 of the programme, empowering her to embrace change with confidence.
Despite initial nerves, she found a supportive and understanding academic community that helped her thrive.
Her story is a compelling testament to the power of flexible learning and encourages others considering a similar path.
Susann had her own business and qualified through the course using her past experience, rather than qualifications. Se was able to fastrack into Year 3 of the programme.
I didn't know what to expect and what exams would be like but I am so glad I came to DkIT. The lecturers are so supportive and they know what we are all feeling.
