The NUI Galway diploma in science and technology studies is an innovative programme targeted at working adults, and focuses on up-skilling in areas such as science, health, IT, engineering, and management.
The programme also benefits from a strong focus on the development of professional skills and company-based project work which allows students to bring their learning directly into their workplace.
Participants engage with the programme through custom written course books, online and at Saturday tutorials, enabling them to adjust study times to suit their lifestyle. As the programme can be taken over a flexible timeframe the individual student determines his/her own study pace.
