Vanessa Nováková is an Animation, Visual Effects & Motion Design student at @kerryetb and @mtu_ie. Her favourite part of the tertiary pathway is how practical it's been! She’s learned so many new skills in animation and motion design while saving money. #NowThinkOpportunity

Che Healy studies Animation, Visual Effects & Motion Design through @kerryetb & @mtu_ie. With no fees for the first 2 years of the degree, he said it was a no-brainer to choose the tertiary pathway!

Did you know that Wales also has a tertiary pathway? Rhian Edwards is the Executive Director, Policy at Medr - the Commission for Tertiary Education and Research in Wales. It was a pleasure to welcome her to the 2024 NTO Convention!

Evian Holt is studying Immersive Media Production at @kwetb and will progress to @myiadt for the last 2 years of his degree.

Noel Mac Aoidh is a professor at @brayinstitutefe (part of @kwetb) and the coordinator of their Immersive Media Production tertiary degree. He says the smaller class sizes in a tertiary degree mean students receive more time and attention from instructors. #NowThinkOpportunity

[NTOIreland @NTOIreland]

@kcetb and @setuireland have co-developed a B.S. (Hons) in Public Health & Health Promotion. This course prepares students for many different career areas and qualifies them for postgraduate programmes in occupational therapy, physiotherapy, nutrition & more! #NowThinkOpportunity

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us – from those who have worked so hard behind the scenes to bring tertiary degrees into reality, and from the students who so generously shared their experiences and feedback on the first two years of study. Now to put their feedback and suggestions into action!

Couldn’t attend the 2024 NTO Convention? Not a problem! Here’s a recap of the day - The morning began with an opening address from NTO Director, Dr. Fiona Maloney (right), and Executive Director of @SOLASFET, Nessa White (left).

[NTOIreland @NTOIreland]

@SOLASFET @JamesLeonard85 @katrionaos @laoisoffalyetb @DeptofFHed @NAPD_IE @instagc @SETUIreland @BrayInstituteFE @hea_irl Throughout the day, @myIADT had 2 different immersive technologies booths set up which included a motion capture suit and 3D printing technology. Students and educators alike had so much fun trying out these cool tools (including our Director, Fiona!)
