Testimonials
My name is Audrey Colreavy, I have worked as a physiotherapist with the HSE for over 20 years. I choose to do the on line two year masters in Health Promotion in IT Sligo for a number of reasons, it allows me to continue working full time, I am able to attend the lectures on line from my home, if I cant attend live they are all recorded so I can work around family,work,life commitments. The on line library access and moodle platform are fantastic. The lecturers are only an email away and always reply promptly to queries. There is no time lost travelling to lecturers or reduced working hours needed. The modules are all applicable to my learning needs and continious professional development requirement of CORU, as a health and social care professional.
