This programme is offered on the CAO in addition to the four existing Level 8 honours degrees in the Department of the Built Environment. The Common Entry Year has been developed in order to advance the Transitions Agenda being pursued in Irish Higher Education, of better transition from second level to third level education.

 

This programme aims to give the student the first stage of an academically challenging educational experience, that will enable the student to develop the knowledge, skills and competencies to serve both the construction industry and society, in whichever specialisation within the industry they progress to study in years 2, 3 and 4 of the Honours Degree programmes in the Department of the Built Environment.
