What are the benefits of a tertiary degree programme
A tertiary degree programme allows you to start your degree in a smaller campus closer to home. This means reduced accommodation and travel expenses, greater study/life balance, and a smoother transition to higher education. There are other advantages, as you can enrol for a tertiary degree programme without CAO points, once you meet the minimum eligibility requirements. Finally, there are no fees for the years of the degree programme provided by the ETB. In subsequent years, the normal registration fees will apply, and you will be eligible to apply for a SUSI grant.
