This week Robert and Rebecca speak with Colum Cronin, the Senior International Officer at Dublin City University. Colum, who also spends some of his time as co-host of the Adventures in Advising podcast, spoke with us about the position and experiences of higher education in Ireland. It was a fascinating discussion about some of the unique challenges that the higher education sector experiences in Ireland compared to the UK, how the sector has changed over the past decade and what it might expect to see over the coming years as well.

An episode that's interspersed with plenty or Irish-isms and lots of shared passion for student affairs, we hope that you enjoy our latest instalment!
