I will look back at my time here at St Patrick's Pontifical University and regard it as my formative years. To say the least, I have not looked back and I am filled am with sheer optimism and support from accomplished faculty members and like-minded peers.

The BATh programme in St Patrick’s Pontifical University has allowed me to reach my absolute potential as a student. I find studying both Theology and history is extremely interesting and enjoyable.

My time at St Patrick's Pontifical University has been, to say the very least, an engaging one. The welcoming atmosphere and kindness of the staff - who always take a serious interest in your advancement - to say nothing of the students, all contribute to an astounding warmth and unique academic experience you won't find anywhere else.

I got far more than I expected...Sitting down beginning my Master's in Liturgical Music with outstanding composers, lecturers and professors analyzing music was a dream come true.

Due to the generous funding of the Peter Coffey Scholarship in philosophy, my doctoral studies at St Patrick’s Pontifical University have surpassed my expectations. For any student interested in studying philosophy or theology abroad in a distinctly Christian atmosphere, St Patrick’s should be at the top of their list.

The minute I heard of the BATh course in St Patrick's, I instantly knew it was for me. I have had my expectations significantly surpassed since I began studying here. Everyone's welcomed with a kind and warm atmosphere that almost feels like a home away from home. I am very content in my decision to choose to spend the next three years here.

This course really offers the best of both worlds, a wide range of arts subjects to be chosen from allows “wiggle-room” if one isn’t 100% sure on what they would like to study. I believe that St Patrick’s Pontifical University was the right choice for me, and one I am very proud to have made.

Your theology studies have the potential to shape both who you are and what you do, just as it did with me.

For me the possibility to teach as guest lecturer at St Patrick's was a great intellectual and cultural experience. The staff welcomed me warmly and the students did not only have profound philosophical knowledge, but also a deep-rooted existential interest in philosophical questions. I can only encourage everyone, who is willing to teach in a foreign language, to make the same experience.

The blended learning model was fantastic. It made the course accessible to me living in the West of Ireland.

I was trying to find a course that would renew my qualifications and something that I would enjoy teaching. I was able to add on Religion with the teaching council as one of my subjects.”
