Student Liaison Officer
We have a permanent Student Liaison Officer and Accommodation
Officer at the Institute whose function is to ensure that
all of the students' social and accommodation needs are
catered for. The Student Liaison Officer also operates
the Institute's ongoing social programme.
The Student Liaison Officer can assist long-term students
who want to find part-time jobs in Ireland by checking their
CVs and giving information to the students to help them in
their search.
The staff at the Institute are available to help students
with particular social or cultural problems which they may
encounter or needs which they may have. These can range from
help with renewing a visa application, to providing information
on places to go in Ireland, to explaining particular Irish
customs and habits, to simply sharing some time talking.
