    Hi,

    Just thought it may be worth my while posting here before I fork out and get some career guidance counselling. I want to go back to college as a mature student but have no idea how to go about it.

    I was in NUIG when I was 19 but dropped out because I didn't like my course. I'm now 23 and want to return to education. The course I want to do is in pulse college Dublin and its 3 years full time.

    Will I have to pay for first year myself as I had the grant in NUIG? Any info would be much appreciate, thanks.

    Hi! It depends on your income as to whether you'll get a grant. If you're on SW you may be entitled to the BTEA. If you have a job centre near you then it may be worth seeing if they have the career/personality tests. They can be useful.
    Hope that helps.
