The BSc (Hons) Applied Sports Science with Strength and Conditioning prepares students to work with children, youths, and adults in various sporting environments. This course focuses on the applied nature of exercise science.

The course content will be delivered through theory and practical classes. We place a significant emphasis on preparing students to be able to deliver the knowledge through practical coaching sessions. Over the four years, students will study the components of fitness, the principles of training, sports nutrition, sports psychology, learn how to analyse biomechanical movements and the science of sport.

Students will be introduced to key concepts, practices, and policies in the field of professional youth whilst examining national and global issues that can have an impact on youth work and young people. Students develop empathetic skills in communication, psychology and youth justice whilst experiencing two different forms of work placement in community settings. All students will also have the opportunity to undertake two work placements, as part of their studies.

The Commis Chef Apprenticeship is a formal structured two year education and training programme, incorporating periods of off the job training and skills development in college and work based knowledge and skills development on the job skills in an approved industry kitchen.

Apprentices will gain the skills and knowledge to prepare, cook and present a wide variety of dishes and commodities to a professional standard. The apprentice will gain an internationally recognised qualification, continue to earn whilst they learn with an employer of their choice, enrich their work immediately as they acquire new skills and enhance their employment prospects and career opportunities.

On completion of this two-year apprenticeship, you will become a fully qualified arborist, with a QQI Level 6 Advanced Certificate in Arboriculture.

You may then choose to work as an arborist in the arboriculture industry.

You may also use the qualification to progress within the sector and/or to higher education programmes.

The role of the arborist involves managing trees, hedgerows and shrubs in both urban and rural settings and providing information and advice on specific tree related issues. As an arborist, you will be carrying out tasks such as the felling, pruning, thinning, preserving and protection of trees using a range of equipment.

If you study Archaeology, you will see the world, time and the human condition in an entirely new way. Archaeology is a uniquely multidisciplinary subject, using all sources of evidence from the past, from ancient manuscripts to the scientific analysis of plants, animals and materials.

Through undertaking Archaeology as a degree, you will learn how to assess, explain and make connections between different types of evidence that will allow you to develop a deeper understanding about the past.

Students will also develop practical skills valued by employers, such as report writing, teamwork, presentation, communication and analytical skills.

The Archaeology, Folklore & Heritage Studies course is particularly suited to school leavers and adults with an interest in cultural and heritage studies who wish to return to education. Students will be introduced to key areas of Irish Archaeology, Folklore, Local History and Heritage studies, enabling them to pursue employment opportunities in the tourist industry. There will be several field trips to places of archaeological, historical, and cultural interest including museums, ancient sites and areas of archaeological interest.

This four year programme enables students to become architectural technologists with additional advanced skills in Building Information Technology (BIM). Students will become competent in the ‘science of building’ and the production of construction drawings and specifications for complex building types, allowing them to become technical members of construction design teams.

This course prepares students for Architecture degrees through hands-on design projects, model making, and the study of construction techniques. Learners investigate architectural history and materials while building a professional portfolio for third-level entry. It is ideal for both prospective degree candidates and anyone with a general interest in architectural principles.

This architecture course provides a comprehensive foundation for those passionate about the built environment, blending creative vision with technical precision. It is specifically structured to help students build a professional portfolio, providing two distinct pathways: one focused on the conceptual and spatial design of Architecture, and the other on the technical and construction-led aspects of Architectural Technology. Through modules in building design, sustainability, and architectural theory, learners develop the diverse skillset necessary to progress to degree-level studies

The award winning BEng Hons Architectural Engineering has been designed for innovative individuals with an interest in building services and renewable technologies.

You will study the design of heating and cooling systems for buildings, electrical and energy supply and use, and water supply and disposal. You will also examine the legislations that affect the built environment and the need for a radical and sustainable approach to building services if the environmental impact of existing/new buildings is to be dramatically reduced.

Renewable energy systems are an increasing focus for the delivery of zero carbon energy and throughout the course you will explore the use and integration of these technologies.
