Siriboon Mukdasai (or May) has always been interested in Chemistry. When the opportunity came to study at UCC, she says that she was delighted. “I think that the research and teaching of Chemistry at UCC is really great. In fact, everything that I am learning here, I know I can apply it very well if I go back to Thailand. For example, the application of Nano-materials is really interesting for me, and UCC is world-renowned for its Nano-technology”, she says.

"Pursuing Master’s in Molecular Cell Biology with Bioinnovation at University College Cork has been one of the biggest and best decisions of my life. Throughtout the incredible journey of this master’s program, I was pleased to notice that UCC has never failed to offer its students the best of facilities ranging from exciting classroom learning to a vast array of activities. The master’s program played an important role in developing scientific thinking and also opened doors to diverse and broad fields of research in Life Sciences. The city of Cork, so called ‘student friendly’ city indeed justifies its title. With its minimal cost of living, lush green environment and various opportunities to explore it definitely feels like the second home."
