Student Welfare & Support
Student Welfare
Starting college is a very exciting time but can also be very stressful and it may take time to adjust to a new stage in your lives. Here in Shannon we encourage all our students to take responsibility for their mental and physical wellbeing and actively support student’s endeavors in this regard through our student welfare service.

Paul Collardeau | BBS Student Ambasssador
There are so many supports available in the college itself, with lecturers and staff always there to help you settle in with ease. The students all live in Bunratty Village together and the mix of Irish and International students is such a great way to make new friends. It was my first time coming to Ireland and since the very first day I arrived, I knew I would enjoy my time here. “Such great Craic”in Connect with Paul
