Hi
If you go onto the AIT site again and look under current students, at top of page it will give you a list of options on the right hand side, examination timetables would not be up yet but we start then from 10 Dec and finish around 20th Dec. As we are semesterized we have exams in Dec and Summer repeats in August.
We have to complete 10/14 weeks work placement during our summer hols and submit a portfolio of case studies as set out by the college. Sounds like a lot but its nice to get into practice and try out what you've learnt.
Each week we have around 24 hours of lectures and labs are mainly in second or first year with third years doing practicals in 3 subjects. Correct info can be researched in the AIT information about the course which is on their site. enter veterinary nursing in the search engine. there you will get a list of subjects and the requirements for the course.

Good luck with project.

Actually the Career Guidance teacher in your school should have a prospective for Athlone IT, this details all the courses the offer like a catalogue. ask them can you look at it and it will have all the information you need about the course.
