Access Foundation Programme at Dublin Institute of Technology

Описание: The Access Foundation Programme is a one year, full time course designed specifically for mature students (23+) who have been out of education for some time; students (18-23) who did not meet minimum entry requirements for third level; and others who need to acquire new qualifications so as to access the labour market.

During their studies students become familiar with subject areas across DIT; learn to research and write academic work; develop their communication and information technology skills; and gain the confidence to pursue an undergraduate degree. Currently 150 students from a diverse range of backgrounds are participating on the programme. It is the largest and most successful programme of its kind in Ireland, with almost 80% of graduates progressing onto undergraduate programmes.

DIT Foundation and donors are working to support the students on the DIT Access Foundation programme to ensure that they can reach their full potential and fulfil their dreams of completing an undergraduate degree at DIT. The Programme transforms the lives of the students, their families and the wider community. It empowers students to make their own choices about their future and gives them the many options that education allows.
