This programme, the first of its kind in the world, has been developed in partnership with Regis University, Denver, Colorado, and is targeted at non-traditional and mature students primarily who do not have access to traditional programmes of study in this area. The purpose of the course is to provide a basic introduction to Irish life and culture through the disciplines of Archaeology, History, English, Irish, Political Science and Sociology. The full programme will comprise five 8-week modules leading to the award of a Certificate in Irish Studies for students who successfully complete three of the modules and a Diploma in Irish Studies from NUI, Galway for those who complete the full programme.

Then the next time I teach the course, I use the next-time syllabus rather than the previous one I used.
