Young Stock Podcast - Matthew Ryan on the challenges and benefits of studying veterinary in Poland
Irish Farmers Journal podcastsShow Notes
On this week’s episode, Niamh Murphy speaks to Matthew Ryan, on his experience of studying veterinary medicine in Poland. Coming from a beef farming background, Sligo native Matthew always had a desire to become a vet. However, when it became clear that a near-perfect Leaving Cert would have to be achieved in order for him to obtain a place in UCD’s course, he began to look elsewhere. In March of his Leaving Cert year, he travelled to Poland to look at universities to study veterinary, which he said assured him that this was a feasible option and a place he could see himself living and studying. He found the transition to Poland relatively easy, helped by the strong Irish community over there and welcoming professors, friendly peers and an enjoyable city to be in. Now three years in, he says he has no regrets has gained an experience he would never have been able to in Dublin. He looks forward to returning home to practice as a large animal vet in the coming years. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
