Cork Institute of Technology (Munster Technological University)

Cork , Cork ,Ireland

Social Care Work Bachelor of Arts

This programme has made an application for approval by CORU. There is no guarantee that the programme will be approved.

The course aims to strike a balance between theory and practice. Material from various disciplines is organised and presented in ways which enable students to see its relevance to the objectives of the course, to the placement settings and their own supervised practice. The student will be given the opportunity of acquiring some practical skills needed in this type of work, such as creative food preparation, and sport and leisure.

Work placements enable the student to apply theory taught on the course to a professional placement and to appreciate the number of, and variety of, relevant work situations.

NB: While evidence or medical certification will explain an absence, it does not reduce the attendance requirements of placement (minimum placement hours) as stipulated in MTU’s work placement module descriptors. Students who miss placement hours will be required to make up these hours.
