ATU Offers 54 New Springboard Courses

We are delighted to announce that we will be offering 54 courses across our campuses in Donegal, Galway, Mayo and Sligo in Science, Technology and Engineering, Business and Social Science disciplines under the new 2022 Springboard+ Programme.

Funded by the Higher Education Authority (HEA), these courses are free for unemployed participants and for all participants on Further Education (Level 6) programmes. For those in employment, 90% of funding is available for participants opting to study ordinary degree (Level 7), honours degree (Level 8) and masters (Level 9) level courses.

ATU’s new Springboard one year courses are delivered part time and are fully online. They are designed for those seeking employment and those already employed, wishing to upskill.

Dr Orla Flynn, ATU President says: "Many of these courses are also reflective of our changing world including courses in cyber security, industrial automation and health informatics. They have been designed for learners who want to study part time at a pace that matches their work/life balance. ”
