School leavers and mature students in Kerry are being urged to explore tertiary bachelor degree programmes for the 2026/27 academic year.
The National Tertiary Office is responsible for providing alternative pathways into degree level education.
Students begin their studies in a further education college before progressing directly to a higher education college to complete their degree.
The NTO says those who complete a tertiary degree, graduate with exactly the same degree as those who begin directly in the college.
Courses available in Kerry through the tertiary degree include animation, visual effect, motion design, general nursing, and mental health nursing.
Over 40 courses are available nationwide, more information and application details can be found on NTO.ie.
