Cian Boland, MSc Digital Marketing and GPA Scholar (2017)
Dublin Hurler, Cian Boland was the recipient of the 2017 DCU/GPA Scholarship to undertake a master’s at DCU. As he approaches his final semester on the MSc in Digital Marketing programme, he takes time to reflect on the experience and shares some advice for anyone thinking of undertaking a masters and applying through the GPA scholarship process.
The GPA and their Player Development Programme have been a huge help to me over the last 12 months, in particular, Fran O’Reilly who I was put in touch with through the GPA. Fran was able to give me some guidance on the direction I was looking to go in career-wise, and it is ultimately what led me to study the MSc in Digital Marketing this year.
The Player Development Programme run by the GPA also allowed me to take CV and Interview workshops which has helped me prepare my career beyond life in DCU. Bernadette McCulloch who is involved with running the GPA/DCU Business School Scholarship has also given me great support and guidance throughout my year as a postgraduate. Read more here.
