BA (Hons) in Criminal Justice Studies Graduate, Sinéad Heffernan, speaks about the variety of interesting subjects she learned throughout the course
"The best thing about this course here at Waterford Institute of Technology is the wide range of subjects covered. Never a dull moment! We learned everything from effects of sleep deprivation on the mind to how to get away with murder, quite literally!
In our first semester we had to complete an assignment on a murder trial with an intriguing outcome.
This course has been a massive eye-opener, everyone is so busy caught up in their own lives, people rarely take time to stop and think; why do we go to Church? How do you measure intelligence? Who is accountable for ensuring child protection and why do so many slip through the cracks?
This course allows you to explore all these avenues and the lecturers are extremely helpful to us during the process."
