Appendix 2 Types of Higher Education Institutions The third level education system in Ireland is broad in scope and encompasses the university sector, the technological sector, the colleges of education and private, independent colleges. The institutions which fall within the first three groupings are autonomous and self governing, but substantially state funded. Universities There are seven universities in the Republic of Ireland and two in Northern Ireland. Universities offer degrees at Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate levels and undergraduate and postgraduate diplomas over a full range of disciplines. In addition research is undertaken in many areas and the universities are also involved in continuing and distance education programmes. Teaching at undergraduate level is normally by way of a programme of lectures supplemented by tutorials and where appropriate, by practical demonstrations and laboratory work. Universities award their own degrees using external examiners to ensure consistency of standards. There is also a Higher Education Authority (HEA) which oversees the work of universities on behalf of the Department of Education and Science. For a full list of universities and their contact details of universities see Section 2. Institutes of Technology There are 14 institutes of technology located throughout the Republic offering programmes at degree, national diploma and national certificate levels in a wide variety of subjects from craft to professional level. Many also run postgraduate and degree programmes, both taught and by research. Most have schools of Science, Engineering & Technology and Business. The qualifications awarded by the Institutes of Technology are internationally recognised by academic, professional, trade and craft bodies. In addition most colleges also have courses leading directly to the examinations of the many professional institutes. Section 3 contains details of all Institutes of Technology. 119
