Our Awards

 The ladder of progression from Higher Certificate to Bachelor Degree to Honours Bachelor Degree offers students three qualifications.

The Higher Certificate
The Higher Certificate is a two-year programme. It is an award that provides a path into employment.  It is knowledge skills driven. It certifies that you have competence and skills in one of the following areas: computer applications, language, business, audio-visual communication, science, and engineering. Students with a Higher Certificate have gone on to be part of local businesses or joined one of the many multinationals located in Ireland. Some now manage their own businesses.

The Bachelor Degree
With the Higher Certificate award you may decide to enter the world of work. Or you may take the next step on the ladder of progression. This is the one-year add-on Bachelor Degree. It’s another layer that links into what you’ve already done at Higher Certificate level. It’s a step up on the ladder of opportunity and qualification. This award certifies you as having an extra layer of knowledge and proficiency. It entitles you to apply for jobs that require more expertise and some management skills.

The Honours Bachelor Degree
Having achieved the Bachelor Degree award you may decide to join the world of work. Or you may decide, as many students do, to progress to the follow-on Honours Bachelor Degree. This is normally completed in one year of extra study. It is very worthwhile. An Honours graduate is fully-fledged with a wide range of employment possibilities. With your Honours Bachelor Degree a management role with managerial responsibilities will certainly be within your grasp. You may be asked to lead a team or to manage a project. You are on track for a bright future with your Honours Bachelor Degree.

Post Graduate Study
Having achieved their honours award most students exit to the world of work and opportunity. Many opportunities are available for students to pursue Post- Graduate study. At ITT Dublin both Masters and Doctoral awards are on offer. These post-graduate qualifications are usually driven by involvement in a research project of high standing, often with international collaborations.

Progression with flexibility
The ladder of progression from Higher Certificate to Bachelor Degree to Honours Bachelor Degree offers students three qualifications. Each qualification is selfcontained. Each qualification opens its own doors to employment. At the same time each qualification is part of a ladder of academic progression from Higher Cert right through to Honours Bachelor Degree. It is a system that combines the flexibility to exit to the world of work at two points (at Higher Certificate and at Bachelor Degree) and at the same time an opportunity to gain three excellent qualifications. Naturally, the higher the qualification the greater the employment opportunities and prospects.

Bachelor Degrees – Direct Entry
We offer direct Leaving Cert access to a range of Bachelor Degree Programmes. The ladder of opportunity in this case provides Leaving Cert students with direct access to Bachelor Degree programmes. These Bachelor Degree Programmes are selected in the CAO priority list in the ordinary way. The Bachelor Degree is completed in three years from start to finish. The ladder of progression allows students with their Bachelor Degree award to progress to the follow-on Honours Bachelor Degree programme. This is normally completed in one year. Further progress is possible for students who excel in the Honours Bachelor Degree programme. They may be invited to participate in a cutting edge research programme that meets the requirements for a doctorate award.

Honours Bachelor Degrees – Direct Entry
We also offer sixteen ‘ab initio’ (direct entry from Leaving Cert) Honours Bachelor Degree programmes which are completed in 4 years. These programmes are direct Leaving Cert entry Honours Bachelor Degree Programmes. Ideal for students who feel ready to immerse themselves in an Honours Programme from day one.
