Third Level Courses

The provision of Third Level training has been a major step forward for Teagasc in recent years.

There are now 11 third level programmes appearing on the CAO list and this is set to expand in the years ahead.

All of these courses are conducted jointly with various Institutes of Technology, thus facilitating the best use of the core competencies of each of the partner institutions.

The courses are accredited by the Higher Education and Training Awards Council (HETAC) and in most situations holders of Higher Certificates are eligible to progress to Level 7 or Level 8 degree programmes.

Recruitment to the courses is through the CAO system with a number of places reserved for mature students and holders of designated FETAC awards.
