Course Summary
Course Category: Direct Entry (Higher Education - HET)
Studying on a part-time basis allows students, who have work or family commitments, to engage with the intellectual and creative life of a college environment.
This can provide a springboard for ideas, work practice and opportunities that working in isolation sometimes may not afford.
It supports the maturing of self-reliance and resourcefulness by providing an environment where creative problems are discussed and new perspectives are offered.
This is not a CAO entry course - course fees required - apply directly to the college.
