Duration

2.5 years, part-time, blended.

The proposed delivery schedule is subject to change.

Successful applicants must complete 11 modules, including a work-based project in order to complete the required 60 credits. Each module is 12 weeks in duration, one evening per week. A range of modules are offered in Semester 1 (September to December) and in Semester 2 (January to May) each academic year. Modules are a mix of online, blended and classroom based. All classroom-based elements will take place onsite at the Moylish campus in Limerick. Degree registered students will be contacted twice yearly with the selection of modules available for the coming Semester.

On average students complete 2 modules per Semester.

Each 5 credits will normally equate to approximately 100 Total Learning Hours. Total Learning Hours includes the time you spend in class (lectures, tutorials, practical elements) and the time you spend completing work outside of college.
