Back to Education Allowance (BTEA)
The Back to Education Allowance (BTEA) is a scheme administered by the Department of Social Protection. It allows people in receipt of certain social welfare payments to retain those payments whilst participating in approved full-time courses in further and higher education – in recent years only Higher Diploma level 8 programmes or the Professional Masters in Education programme have been eligible for the BTEA. Students are advised to check with their local social welfare office for the most up-to-date information on this.

Hide-The programme covers Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics and a range of applied courses such as Labour Economics, International Trade, Economics of Sport and Finance.

Students take five compulsory modules and seven optional modules. All modules are 5 credits each. The compulsory modules are the same every year.

The optional modules taken vary greatly, depending on the background and interest of the individual student. Students discuss which modules would be best for them with the course co-ordinator at the start of the year, and are helped to devise the optimal programme of study for themselves.

The list of modules available varies slightly from year to year. Students who wish to take a module from another department may do so, subject to the permission of that department. Not all combinations of modules may be available, due to timetable considerations.
