Tertiary Degrees

Donegal Education and Training Board (ETB)

Galway Roscommon ETB (GRETB)

Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim ETB (MSLETB)

There are no fees attached to the first year of these courses in the Education and Training Boards. In subsequent years, the normal registration fees will apply. 

You will be eligible to apply for a SUSI grant. Further information can be found here: https://www.susi.ie/.

Initial applications for the tertiary programmes will close at 5 pm on 8th August 2024. Late applications will be considered where there are still places available after all eligible candidates have been considered. Visit the ‘Apply Now’ section to find out more about how to apply.

Tertiary degree programmes are ideal for individuals who have a strong interest or previous experience in the subject area. 

You may have completed a part-time course in your local ETB or have experience working in a related field, maybe you have not considered third level education due to family and/or other caring duties; perhaps you work in a family business or have farm responsibilities; maybe the financial costs associated with accommodation or childcare are holding you back; or you have additional needs or a medical condition.

Tertiary degree programmes allow you to complete year one close to home in your local ETB before choosing to specialise at an ATU campus of your choice. 

Progression is guaranteed upon meeting successful completion criteria in year one
