A Donegal student is being featured in a new communications campaign by Marino Institute of Education in Dublin.
Cuan Ó Broithe, from Letterkenny, is a first-year student on the Bachelor of Education through the medium of Irish (Primary Teaching).
Called ‘This is MIE’, the campaign offers an insight into student life at MIE, including student societies and clubs focused on sports, traditional music, and drama and musicals, and showcases different course options at the Institute.
Cuan, who has a great passion for the Irish language and culture, is among a small cohort of students who have been selected to feature in the campaign.
President of MIE Professor Teresa O’Doherty said a key focus of the ‘This is MIE’ campaign is to highlight the fact that additional places are available on primary education courses for the coming academic year beginning September.
“We are pleased to offer 30 additional places on our BOTMG programme this year, as well as a further 30 additional places on our Bachelor of Education (Primary Teaching) through English, and 50 extra places on our Professional Master of Education (Primary Teaching),” she said.
“We are all aware of the challenges facing the teaching profession, including teacher shortages, and we are committed to playing our part in addressing these.”
The CAO change-of-mind period for undergraduate programmes is currently open until 1st July 2023 (5pm).
