GRETB Tertiary Degree Programme
Bealaí nua tríd an mbreisoideachas chuig an ardoideachas
With Galway and Roscommon ETB, you will have the opportunity to start a degree locally, gain practical skills and real-world experience and finish out your degree on an Atlantic Technological University (ATU) campus of your choice.
The unique feature of these programmes is that participants can embark on their higher education journey in a further education setting in GRETB for first year and then progress on to Atlantic Technological University campus of choice upon successful completion of the initial year.
The delivery of each programme will take place in person at the designated GRETB Further Education and Training Centres. The curriculum and timetable will mirror that of Year 1 at ATU, ensuring that learners experience the same schedules, examination dates, and other programme criteria. Learners will also have the opportunity of attending some practical lectures on campus in ATU in first year.
