Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Community Development, Munster Technological University

This one-year full-time course aims to provide individuals active in the community with a formal qualification in community work. Developed in partnership with community groups, the programme includes lectures, workshops, seminars, and a significant practical component rooted directly in the community. Students stay within their community settings, enhancing their ongoing contributions while gaining new skills through supervised and supported learning in real-world environments. The assessment relies on continuous evaluation methods like essays, reports, role plays, and presentations, with practical work placement contributing to the overall grade. No formal written exams are part of the assessment process.
