At NUI Galway, we believe that the best learning takes place when you apply what you learn in a real world context. That's why many of our courses include work placements or community projects.
Community Education
Community Education
Building vibrant communities and supporting innovative change in society in ways that are both empowering and participative are the corner stones of training provided by Community Education.
Our training will prepare you to facilitate real change at local level and provide you with skills and knowledge to engage with a rapidly changing policy context at national level. Our modules are developed and delivered in conjunction with practitioners to provide high-quality community, family, and youth work expertise to ensure you are equipped to work in a variety of settings (whether private, voluntary, or statutory).
We offer a range of specialised training to enhance your practical skills and to build your professional competence. Our learning in action approach prepares you to work with groups as well as providing you with an opportunity to independently research issues relevant to social justice and positive change. All our courses are part time and use blended learning methods so you can structure your study in ways that will suit you.
