CourseCast is aimed at prospective students and offers insights into undergraduate courses at the University.
CourseCast, a podcast series by SETU, is nominated for a Digital Media Award, in the ‘Best use of Digital Audio’ category in the national competition.
SETU is the only third-level institute to be shortlisted outside of the student category of the awards.
The Digital Media Awards recognise outstanding achievement in digital innovation, creativity, and measurable impact across a wide range of categories. They attract hundreds of high-quality submissions from agencies, brands, and organisations of all sizes.
CourseCast
Every episode of CourseCast has useful information in terms of course content, life on campus, career opportunities after graduation, and, most importantly, how prospective students can apply to study the various programmes at SETU.
Throughout the series, podcast host Mary O’Neill, an experienced broadcaster who is part of the Marketing team at SETU, speaks to course leaders, students, graduates, and people in industries related to the featured programmes.
We are thrilled to see CourseCast recognised by such an established and prestigious awards programme as the Digital Media Awards, placing SETU in the company of top-quality entries from multiple sectors and industries. It’s also a great honour for SETU to be the only third-level institute nominated outside of the student category.

Twenty five episodes of CourseCast have been created since it was launched in April, with many more in the pipeline for the coming academic year. Episodes created to date reflect the broad range of high quality undergraduate programmes available across all campuses at SETU, from Aerospace Engineering to Nursing, to Music to Pharmacy to Visual Communications, and many more besides.

It’s also a great honour for SETU to be the only third level institute nominated outside of the student category.
CourseCast is a testament to the vision and dedication of the marketing team but also to the range of superb programmes we offer students at the University. The podcast series is wonderful way for us to showcase what’s available to students across all our campuses, not just from an academic perspective but also in terms of the supports, facilities, placement opportunities and friendships they can enjoy during their time here.”
The Digital Media Awards winners will be announced at ceremony in Dublin on Friday October 9th. More details here.
