Professional Diploma in Education

“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
John Dewey (1951)

We offer a two year flexible Professional Diploma in Education (PDE) for those who already hold an undergraduate degree and who wish to obtain a recognised qualification for second-level teaching. It addresses the need for a flexible teacher training qualification for unqualified people, who want to work in second-level schools but who are not in a position to engage in a full-time programme of study.

Closing date for applications for entry in 2013 is 28th of February 2013

Programme Chair: Dr James O'Higgins Norman
Director of Teaching Practice: Dr Brendan Walsh
