Northern Ireland student Séarlait Corry has found her calling in the field of law and criminal justice at Atlantic Technological University (ATU) Donegal.
Séarlait was previously a student at Holy Cross College Strabane before enrolling at ATU. Now her days are filled with exploring the world of law, crime and hands-on experience in the courtroom as she works towards a rewarding and stimulating career.
When asked about her education journey to date, Séarlait said she got great encouragement from the ATU team and soon settled into the welcoming atmosphere.
“I was encouraged to come down to an open event, and getting to see everything the University and the course had to offer greatly encouraged me to apply. The opportunity of being able to practice law in the north and the south also really appealed to me with ATU,” she said.
Séarlait has been thoroughly enjoying her time studying at ATU Donegal, particularly the days in the courtroom, stating: “the best part of doing Law in ATU is getting to partake in mock trials in the Letterkenny Courthouse. Because we have Barristers and solicitors as our Lecturers, we have the opportunity of using the courthouse and getting to learn from real-life professionals (which is definitely my favourite part of the course).”

The next ATU Donegal Open Evening takes place on Wednesday 24th of January on the Letterkenny campus from 4pm – 7pm. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to get a firsthand look at the university and learn more about ATU Donegal and its courses and student life.
If you’re considering attending an open event, Séarlait advises that it “gives a huge insight into the University and what it has to offer. There are a myriad of different courses and amazing facilities that are explained in detail to you by the heads of departments.”
For those considering third level education, Séarlait offers some advice: “Beginning in third level education can be extremely overwhelming. However, it is important to power through all your anxieties until you settle in and meet new people with similar interests and ambitions, which is definitely what happened to me.
“Atlantic Technological University Donegal is a really welcoming place where there are always societies and groups you can join that gives you a sense that you are a part of something.”
