Process Analytical Instrumentation

This part-time special purpose award (SPA) of 20 ECTS credits is designed to meet the industry skills shortage in the area of Process Analytical Instrumentation.

While there will not be a specific qualification requirement, there is an expectation that candidates will have obtained a minimum of junior cert level (NFQ-QQI level 3) and experience in related industrial sectors would be beneficial for the student. Applicants will be assessed individually on a case-by-case basis. Relevant industrial experience or training may be considered via the University’s recognition of prior learning (RPL) policy and process. What is RPL? Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
