Open & Distance Learning

Welcome from the President

Thank you for your interest in the Open and Distance Learning programmes on offer in IT Sligo in the coming academic year. More people are choosing to study parttime at IT Sligo every year. So whether you want to learn more about a subject, develop your professional skills, re-train for a new career or study for pleasure, you can study part-time leading to recognised qualifications at IT Sligo.

Often the demands of work or family mean that you are unable to commit to full-time study and our ODL programmes are designed for students who want to study with us part-time. We offer a supportive and flexible learning environment enabling students to develop new skills and achieve their ambitions. When attending lecturers and visiting the campus you will find dedicated academic and support staff with a keen  interest in supporting you and assisting you in your quest for new knowledge.

In addition to the array of programmes in this prospectus, IT Sligo can also design and tailor programmes to the needs of your organisation. We work very closely with employers, practitioners and professional organisations to ensure that all our programmes reflect the current needs of the work place whether this be in  humanities, business, engineering and science.

I am delighted that you have taken the first step to review and consider the programmes on offer and would remind you that Michelangelo in his 87th year, is quoted as saying ‘Ancora Imparo’ meaning ‘I am still learning’.

Given his breathtaking achievements in science and the arts, this humility provides a lesson and a direction for us all.

If you wish to find out more about any of the programmes on offer, please get in touch with us.
