BA (Hons) in Adult Education
The BA (Hons) in Adult Education is a Level 8 research orientated programme for adult educators working in non-teaching roles. The programme will consist of some joint modules with the BA (Hons) in Teaching in Further & Adult Education. Students taking the option of the BA (Hons) in Adult Education can participate fully in the equivalent modules offered on the BA (Hons) Teaching in Further & Adult Education programme, however those completing the non-teaching BA (Hons) will complete research modules instead of teaching practice modules. The programme will run over three semesters – approximately 14-18 months in duration depending on the module availability. This programme is open to graduates with the BA (Ord) in Adult Education (Level 7) or equivalent. For more information, please contact Ann-Marie Cullen by e-mail at [email protected]
Launch of National Further Education and Training Strategy 2014-2019:
Ministers Quinn and Cannon launch the first ever five-year strategy for Further Education and Training
The first ever strategy for the Further Education and Training (FET) sector was launched by the Minister for Education and Skills, Ruairí Quinn, T.D. and Minister of State for Training and Skills, Ciarán Cannon, T.D. The overall aim of the Strategy is to develop a world-class integrated system of further education and training in Ireland, which will promote economic development and meet the needs of all citizens. The new Strategy was developed by SOLAS with assistance from the ESRI, which was commissioned to carry out evidence-based research and assist in the development of the Strategy.
