Mature Students Access Course
The Mature Student Access Course is a one year course at DIT. It is designed for Mature Students (22 years of age on the first of January of the year the course begins) from areas and communities where there is not a strong tradition of participation in third level education. Having successfully completed the one year course participants are then eligible to enter undergraduate courses at DIT.
Quotes from participants:
“The
Mature Student Access Programme was my next step, it was the bridge
between my life experiences and going to college – it was the chance I
never had”
“The programme gave me the skills I needed to succeed in college. I
really enjoyed it, I met new people and it opened up my mind”
“Before I started the programme I had no idea what I wanted to study,
during my year on the access programme I learned loads about myself and
what I was good at”
