As the dust settles on CAO offers, many students will be disappointed that they didn’t get their first choice. At Blackrock Further Education Institute (BFEI) students can enrol in Pre-University Law, Psychology, Arts, Business and IT courses and take the subject matter for a test run. Why jump in with both feet and commit to a degree course if you are not certain it is the right one for you? Students can sample the course material, see if it really is what will keep them motivated to pursue a degree. Making an informed decision about the direction their education and career will go in, as well as learning from experienced teachers how to write papers, how to reference and get hands-on work experience, these are just some of the skills BFEI can develop. Students can then use their results from these courses to apply for degree courses, as many successful candidates have done for decades.
Or students could do something totally different for a year? Study Sports Massage or Holistic Therapies, these skills would never be wasted. Or why not follow in the footsteps of Jennifer Rock and study Beauty Therapy in BFEI.
