Highlight of my time at Maynooth
When awarded a scholarship from the Combating Diseases and Poverty Consortium which allowed me to conduct research into AIDS related stigma and discrimination in Tanzania as part of my Masters in Anthropology and Development.
What is unique about studying at Maynooth?
The atmosphere and the warmth of the university is second to none and its location in the small town of Maynooth is rather special. Also it has the only Anthropology Department in the Republic of Ireland, with a dedicated and experienced staff, where I was lucky enough to have studied in for five years.
