Hear from our students

“I have always struggled with my dyslexia and have never been understood by the teachers before but coming to Boston College has shown me that I am capable of more than I thought, and that is mainly due to the understanding of the staff. I know that currently there are many females in this industry, but it is still looked at as a man’s world, but with what we are doing it can show younger girls that it is their choice. And that the world is a lot more accepting of the idea of women engineers than they think, and that they should reach for the stars.”

Alicia-Jaine | Engineering

“I’ve always been interested in how things are designed and work, so I knew I wanted to study Engineering. The new EMAT Centre at Boston College is tailored to engineering, so we have all the industry standard equipment we need. The course encourages you to be independent, at the beginning of the year our lecturers provide us with a project briefing and a deadline for us to complete the work by – which really prepares you for how the industry works.

If we do need any support or help, the lecturers are always available, and they all have industry experience, which is great.”

Riley | Engineering
