Adult and Community
Education
The Department of Adult and Community Education at NUI Maynooth has
been offering courses to adults throughout the country for 30 years.
We deliver our courses in partnership with a large number of
schools, colleges and adult learning centres around the country and
we are grateful to them for their interest in bringing the
university into many towns and villages around the country.
Every year up to 1, 500 adult students participate on NUI
Certificate level courses. The courses are delivered in a student
friendly way using experiential learning methods and group work
practice as tools for learning. As many adult students may not have
had the opportunity to participate in third level education before,
student support and study skills form an integral part of course
design. The courses are both flexible and part-time and where
possible are offered in local venues.

DEGREE PROGRAMMES
The National University of Ireland, Maynooth offers modular
part-time degrees in Local Studies and Community Studies. These
programmes were developed in response to the demand for
inter-disciplinary, flexible progression routes for adults to degree
level. They are offered in the evening to facilitate adults who are
unable to attend on a full-time basis during the day. They represent
a further expansion of NUI Maynooth’s provision for mature students.
With such innovative features as flexible delivery, modularisation,
credit accumulation and recognition of accredited prior learning,
students may advance in a systematic and learner friendly way
towards a primary degree. These programmes are offered at the main
campus at Maynooth, Co. Kildare, and at the University’s Kilkenny
Campus.
Structure of the
Degree Programmes
Over a five-year cycle of delivery the following two programmes are
provided:
· Programme 1: Local Studies
· Programme 2: Community Studies
Students on the degree may choose to follow either the Local Studies
Programme or the Community Studies Programme. It is not possible to
attend modules from both programmes, except where Common Modules are
offered.
The inter-disciplinary nature of the programmes means that various
University Departments have responsibility for module delivery.
