Welcome to the Faculty of Business & Humanities.<br />
The Faculty of Business & Humanities is dedicated to the provision of programmes that will<br />
furnish the students with the relevant knowledge, skills and competencies to deal with the<br />
challenges that they will encounter in the workplace of their chosen discipline.<br />
The Faculty has over 2200 students and is organised into four academic departments:<br />
• Department of Business<br />
• Department of Sport<br />
• Department of Food & Tourism<br />
• Department of Applied Social Sciences<br />
The Faculty offers programmes leading to qualifications at Level 6 (Higher Certificate), at Level<br />
7 (Degree) add-on, at Level 8 (Honours Degree) (add-on and ab-initio) and at Level 9 (Taught<br />
and by Research).<br />
A number of programmes delivered by the Faculty have recognition from professional bodies.<br />
Such recognition offers accreditation to graduates on completion of the respective<br />
programmes or enable graduates to claim significant exemptions from the examinations of the<br />
professional bodies.<br />
All programmes in the Faculty of Business & Humanities provide a blend of theoretical<br />
knowledge and practical skills development facilitated through active learning approaches.<br />
This is achieved through the combination of formal lectures, tutorials, group projects,<br />
presentations, case studies, educational visits, problem-based learning, work placements,<br />
stimulation activities and the use of highly regarded speakers from the professions and<br />
industry.<br />
The Faculty is extremely proud of its students and their achievements, both academic and<br />
extracurricular. Our students regularly participate in a host of competitions, including Ireland<br />
Skills, Knorr Student Chef of the Year, Irish Hospitality Institute Business Management Game<br />
and National Social Enterprise Awards. Some current students include male and female intercounty<br />
and provincial footballers, hurlers and camogie players; All-Ireland league and<br />
All-Ireland colleges’ rugby players. Many students have spent time working on a voluntary<br />
basis in local primary schools or with local charities.<br />
