Social Enterprise and Community Development - HC

This programme has been jointly developed with our long-standing partner EQUAL Ireland. Because of its high-quality nationwide contacts with Community Organisations, Social Enterprises, and Social Partners, EQUAL Ireland actively assists TUS in achieving its targets in attracting nontraditional learners, especially those from under resourced communities across Ireland. It importantly plays a key role in supporting adult learners in their learning journey and in navigating the TUS RPL application route.

Any person aged 23 or over on the 1 of January on the year of entry may apply for the programme. Graduates of the ATU Level 6 (60 Credit) programme in Enterprise and Community Development may apply for advanced entry into Year 2 of the programme. Applicants with other qualifications or/and relevant work experience are encouraged to apply for entry and will be considered in accordance with TUS Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process. Such applicants will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Those working in the community, social enterprise, not-for-profit and voluntary sector are encouraged to apply. All applications must adhere to TUS Admissions Practices. Non-native English speakers are required to have an IELTS level of 6.0 or higher, or a CEFR English level of at least B2 or equivalent.
