About the Course<br />
This part time Certificate level course is designed as a<br />
stepping stone for those who wish to return to study, but<br />
have not studied in any formal way for a number of years.<br />
Participants will be given an opportunity to sample a number<br />
of academic subjects so that they will be able to make a more<br />
informed choice when selecting subjects later.<br />
Students who obtain a First Class Honours or Second Class Honours Grade 1 may<br />
access a Bachelor of Arts degree programme in this university.<br />
The course aims to familiarise people with the structure and requirements of third<br />
level education; to equip them with some of the necessary skills required and help<br />
them identify the subjects or courses that they may later wish to undertake.<br />
