If you are interested in finding out what type of certificate courses you can do on a part-time basis from Addiction Studies to Creative Writing, Local Studies or Adult and Community Education among others this is the place to be. 

Maybe you would like to study for an interdisciplinary degree that combines modules in Anthropology, History, Sociology, Ancient Classics, Adult Education, Applied Social Studies, Nua Ghaeilge and Geography, if so, then come and meet some of our lecturers and students from the BA Local/Community studies.  There will be short lectures on both programme streams and a presentation on Recognition of Accredited Prior Learning for people who have studied before and might have credits that they can carry into the degree itself. Find out how you can build a degree that is designed to meet your needs and your timetable.
