CAO Course Code: CM010
The B.Sc. in Education Studies is a Level 8, four year honours degree programme accredited by the University of Dublin, Trinity College. It is designed to address the needs of those interested in working as educators, policymakers and educational administrators outside school settings and to serve the growing demand for courses which provide students with an opportunity to engage with the broad field of education. Although the new degree will not qualify graduates as teachers, it would provide an excellent foundation for students who wish to go on to complete a higher diploma in primary teaching. The combination of the core, specialisation and optional modules with work placements and a research dissertation allows students to experience the depth and breadth of education in a meaningful and integrated way.
The course is sanctioned from year to year by the Department of Education and Skills and is advertised in the public press with details of the application procedure. Interviews are held in arrangement with the Department of Education and Skills and the Colleges of Education prior to the commencement of each course. An oral Irish interview is also conducted.
Applications are invited for a new two‐year part‐time Master’s programme.
Thisinnovative course, using face‐to‐face and online learning, is open to
applicants with primary and post‐primary teaching experience. It is
particularly relevant to those interested in social justice, equality and
diversity.
