ATU Sligo has designed their online courses in a very flexible way in order to give you the option of graduating at different levels. These levels include a Level 6 Certificate or Higher Certificate, a Level 7 Bachelor Degree, a Level 8 Honours Bachelor Degree and a Level 9 Professional and Postgraduate qualification.

This ladder system enables you to progress through to qualifications appropriate to your personal requirements, previous qualifications, and work experience. At ATU Sligo, every course is made up of a set of modules or subjects and each of these has a credit weighting. Credits is a universal term in higher education used to quantify learnings. 

If you’re thinking about applying for an online course at ATU Sligo, please make sure to check the level of the course, the credits, and if you meet the eligibility criteria listed on the course web page.

Watch Dara McGoldrick from ATU, talk through the levels, credits and entry requirements for studying part-time online.

Applicants with other qualifications and with relevant work experience may also be considered through ATU Sligo’s Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) process.
