The four-year degree programme will be delivered through a partnership of DCU and Technological University of the Shannon (TUS). The first two years of study will take place at the TUS Athlone campus, and the final two years at the DCU Institute of Education in Dublin.
The BEd TEG is accredited by the Teaching Council of Ireland and will qualify you to teach all three of Technology, Engineering, and Design and Communication Graphics subjects at Leaving Certificate level. For further information about the programme please contact Paul Grimes in DCU ([email protected]) or Rónán Dunbar in TUS ([email protected]). If you want to design creative solutions to real-world problems, you can gain the knowledge and skills you’ll need to make real change happen on the BSc in Global Challenges.
You’ll study diverse social science and technical topics, including cutting-edge emerging technologies and valuable international relations specialisms. You’ll learn through hackathons, gamification and challenge-based team learning. And you’ll build a toolkit of skills such as leadership, project planning and research. These will enable you to work across multiple disciplines, manage diverse projects and become a thought and action leader of tomorrow. Click here for more information ... This route offers students from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds the opportunity to apply to the DCU Access Service for additional supports. Two types of support are available:
ADER is aimed at students who, due to their socio-economic background and low family income, would find it difficult to gain entry to or take up their place in DCU. The eligibility criteria are the same as those for the Higher Education Access Route (HEAR). Students who have not applied or cannot complete their application to HEAR or are seeking subsidised accommodation should apply to ADER with supporting information. If a student has made an application through the HEAR scheme and is not seeking subsidised accommodation there is no need for them to reapply through this scheme. The 2022 application form is now available at: https://www.dcu.ie/access/access-dcu-entry-route-application-form-2022-deadline-applications-22nd-april-2022 We are really looking forward to our Spring Open Day this Saturday.
