Hi,

Is there anybody on here doing the course in Sep or if anybody in the past has done it?

What's it like? Is there much fun on the course etc?

Hi there!

I've recently applied for this. Have you gotten your offer yet (and if so, when? Trying to keep tabs on things).

From the people I've messaged it seems like a great course.

I've applied but no word back. When should we expect it. How old are you do you mind me asking and do you have any previous journalism experience? What have past students said?

The closing date is the 21st so hopefully a yes/no around that time! I'm nearly hitting the 25 mark, and a small bit of experience on paper but just hope my interest was clear in the submissions.

Most if not all students very positive. It changes from year to year so I'm not sure what modules would be the same for the incoming year. Hopefully all good news this time next week!

It seems so close between finding out and start of the course. Imagine if you had to re-locate to Dublin. Finding accomodation in such a short time is no mean feat. Do you reckon there would be a good social element to it?

Yeah that's one lof the reasons why I thought there might have been some sort of early offer going on for those living far away. It's nerve wrecking waiting for the answer, one way or the other!

And I'm trying not to think too much of that side of things until I know for definite I'm going but yeah of course I'm sure it's all what you can make it for yourself.

Anybody got any word yet?

I got an email that my Pac application had changed status! I logged in and there was an offer. All a bit surral. It said somewhere the offers would be coming out 2 weeks post deadlin date. Any joy yourself?

Nope!! Getting anxious. When did you apply?

I don't know how the offers work tbh. Almost convinced myself wasn't to be. I applied about a week or two before the deadline so around the 10th of August.
