Assessment
Students are assessed through continuous assessment throughout the semester. Each module has 2 assessments which can be a mixture of written assignments, presentations and role plays.
Applicants are also required to have a minimum of two years work experience with at least six months supervisory experience. The University's Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policy applies and Applicants are required to complete a form outlining details of their previous work experience and any evidence of previous courses.
Applicants are required to complete a Recognition of prior learning (RPL) form where they give details of their work experience, previous courses and informal learning experiences. RPL is a process which seeks to acknowledge all forms of learning. Successful applicants are then awarded 60 ECTS credits upon entry and another 60 ECTS credits on successful completion of the one year programme.
Applicants are required to hold five passes in the Leaving Certificate (or an approved equivalent). Five passes means Five O6 (Ordinary Level) grades or five H7 (Higher Level) grades. Note: Grade F6 in Foundation Mathematics and Irish also satisfies the minimum entry requirements.
For those not possessing a pass in five subjects, relevant experience and/or evidence of other part-time courses may also be considered.
