It will also give leaders at all levels an effective method for addressing goals, challenges and problems in a proactive way aligned to personal and organisational objectives.

This module will use recent advances in the behavioural sciences to help learners to improve their leadership skills and gain an understanding of how the organisations culture effects virtually every aspect of the organisations operations and help them to proactively manage the culture to get results.
Online Support
Students will have full access to a range of supports available online and through Blackboard, our virtual learning environment. These include our new online programme, PACE, which is designed to support students to access and effectively use library resources in order to complete assignments. Additional supports include an Academic Writing Centre and Maths Support Centre, freely available to all students.
Extended Campus
Extended Campus (EC) at SETU Carlow works with organisations in the design, development and validation of customised programmes relevant to industry and employer needs. Programmes are often designed to bridge a gap that currently exists and or to support the future needs of an organisation and are offered through flexibly delivered timetables that fits into work life and avoiding long commutes to and from the classroom.
Relevant curricula give organisations the opportunity to stay competitive and current in the changing workplace with industry-focused programmes that deliver job-ready skills. All programmes are delivered by experienced industry experts. Students who have relevant learning (formal or informal) may make application under recognition of prior learning (RPL) for advanced entry or exemptions on certain programmes.
