I was very fortunate to take part in the Erasmus program where I completed work experience with a company in Amsterdam. Overall I had a very good experience while studying at Greenhills College. The course was a good introduction to computing and provides a chance to advance yourself in different areas of the IT industry. I have completed a degree in TU-Tallaght thanks to Greenhills College.
