Centre for Talented Youth DCU Courses
We are very proud to have three of our TY students participating in CTYI courses this year. The CTYI Early University Entrance courses are programmes for students with high ability. TY students take part in first year university modules over the course of a semester. Aileen is currently studying engineering modules. Oluwaseyi is undertaking modules in computer science and Hannah is completing her studies in biology. We hope the students thoroughly enjoy their university experience.

With 40 percent of the marks going towards the Irish oral exam the Sixth Years benefited greatly from this highly entertaining and educational workshop which took place on Friday March 8th.
