About Us
Why Us?
Student activities are as diverse as our student body itself. Our student canteen – The Hive – is regularly home to student gigs and other events such as table quizzes and cultural celebrations.
We are centrally located on Cumberland Street, Dun Laoighre, five minutes’ walk from Monkstown/Salthill DART Station and on the 7/7A/46A/75 bus routes. Paid car parking in the vicinity of the college is plentiful.
All of our specialist rooms have been upgraded to the highest standard in the last three years. From the sound recording studio to the nursing suite, students will be learning with the most up to date technology and equipment. See more here.
Class sizes are small and this affords each student the opportunity of reaching their maximum potential through teacher interaction. Our teaching staff adopt a wide variety of teaching methods and are acutely aware that not all students learn in the same way and come from a variety of different backgrounds. Integral to teaching is the use of Moodle, an eLearning Platform, which provides students with an online learning resource.
Graduates of our courses are very successful in progressing to Further/Higher Education or gaining employment. Each course page contains details of the progression links and employment opportunities available.
