During the programme you will learn about adult, adolescent and early childhood education through attendance at classes, hands on learning, reading and skill development. The modules delivered on the programme encompass the themes of life-long learning, ethics and social justice, education and culture, and education policies and practices. The modules cover technology, the arts, curriculum and programme design, policy analysis and much more. In addition to the core modules you will select a specialisation module, in an area of interest, which you pursue through the first three years of the programme. You will also select an optional module each year.

A work placement is integral to each year of the programme. This can take place in locations such as education centres, non-government organisations (NGOs), arts/culture and media organisations, community education programmes, programmes run by the Department of Education and Skills as well as in formal educational institutions from pre-school to third level and further education. All students undertake an internship in the final year of the programme in an education setting of their choice.
