My Mature Student Learning Experience L8
I had the absolute pleasure of joining year 4 in International Business last September '20 as a mature student and what an amazing experience it has been so fair. Despite the many challenges the pandemic has brought, Dorset never failed to adapt and the support and encouragement that they have provided has been second to none. Our lecturers have been diverse and energetic, providing engaging and stimulating lectures and lively debate. They have also been hugely supportive in linking me with industry experts to help further my career and gain insight for my thesis.
I have had the pleasure of being Class Rep and Wellness Ambassdor for the college and in conjunction with my colleagues and Kate we are highlighting the importance of maintaining mental, emotional and physical well-being, in addition to making wonderful new friends. I am also very pleased to be in the process of having one of our academic pieces published.
I must give a special mention to Kate Molloy, a true lady and now friend. She has has provided such support and encouragement and never more than a text away, always smiling and ready to help. To my lecturers, colleagues, team mates, fellow ambassadors and all you wonderful beings, thank you all for my wonderful experience!

Would not recommend
I was very disappointed with the quality of service from this institution. I already held a First Class Honours Degree and chose Dorset College to return to further education in later life. Communication from the college administration was very poor. I had a very unsatisfactory experience and would not recommend it as a place for further study.

There is no proper academic structure…
There is no proper academic structure in place and I can't think why anyone would want to study here or work here. I certainly wouldn't employ anyone from this college. How is it still open?

Very poor service
The college is a joke. I don't think it can be classed as a proper college. Tried to book onto a course. The start date was changed last minute, then changed again and then it was cancelled. Now for the challenge of getting my money back. My advice would be to pick a reputable college to study in.

This is not a College to be considered. I have bad reports from both students and staff. Standards are not upheld in the way they should be for a higher education institute. Go to one of the ITs, DCU, UCD or Trinity instead.
