St. Angela’s College, Sligo: Withdrawal of Home Economics and Economics elective (CAO Code: AS004)15/3/2018
St. Angela’s College has taken the decision to withdraw its offering of the AS004 Home Economics and Economics elective through the CAO. However, the overall number of places available on the BAPME programme will not be reduced and student places that would have been allocated to the AS004 Home Economics and Economics elective will now be allocated to alternative electives.
This decision was taken due to difficulties sourcing Economics teaching hours for our students on School Placement coupled with limited employment opportunities for our Economics graduates. CAO applicants for the AS004 elective who are still interested in pursuing the BA PME programme should consider applying for another elective through the CAO.
