Jamie Heaslip, Irish rugby union player playing for Leinster and Ireland is supporting Engineers Week. Not only is he a world class number 8, he also studied Medical Mechanical Engineering in DCU.
“The public knows me as a rugby player, but I was an engineer first and my qualification has given me a great platform to explore all kinds of sports and career opportunities already in my life,” Heaslip said.
“Whether your goal is to be an athlete, a music technician or even an astronaut, a grounding in engineering gives you the discipline, leadership, and communication skills that equip you to make the best of your talent and find innovative solutions to all kinds of challenges in life, including those I’ve encountered on the rugby field on many occasions. So it’s great to see the growing demand for engineering skills and new job opportunities that exist for graduates in the area now.
