Short Courses Foreword
Adult Continuing Education offers a broad range of short courses throughout the academic year. The nature and variety of courses has diversified greatly over the last five years and we now offer leisure, special interest and continuing professional development courses to students over 21 years of age. There are no additional entry criteria: simply participants may choose to enter one of our courses if they wish to strengthen their prior interest in a particular area or indeed if they wish to extent further their emerging interest in a subject, be it for personal or professional reasons.
Our short courses represent some of the main interests and concerns of schools and colleges across the University. In this respect, completing a short course with Adult Continuing Education, may be the first step to returning to full or part-time education at third level. Many of our short courses are taster-style introductions to the humanities, social sciences, computer science, food science, law and business. The majority of courses are held in the evenings on the UCC campus but an increasing number are also held in the community.
Our short course brochure for 2012/13 will be available from August and it will feature our core courses along newly developed courses. If you’d like to receive a copy please input your details below and you will be added to our mailing list.
