The new year is the perfect time to learn something new

WITH the new year in full flow, the New Year’s resolutions too are already underway or perhaps have already been left to one side.

While some may be considering a new career or a new venture into education for the new year, some people too are getting set to fill in CAO forms to start the next chapter of their lives.

Here in Sligo and surrounding areas there is a huge variety of third level and further education institutions in which one can pursue further education opportunities.

St. Angela’s College, based here in Sligo, offers courses in Home Economics, Nutrition, and Nursing.

IT Sligo has a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate options available, with the college growing every year. This year over 1,000 extra places were offered to prospective students with a range of new courses also added.

There are a huge range of education courses available at Mayo, Sligo & Leitrim Education and Training Board (MSLETB). From Post Primary Education, Post Leaving Certificate courses, Youth Services, Adult Education and more, there is something to suit everyone.

For anyone looking further afield than Sligo, NUI Galway is only a short distance away and is hugely popular for students from the area. According to QS, NUIG is among the top 1% of universities in the world.

GMIT too is popular among Sligonians going into further education. Again, only a short distance from the region, the college has a broad range of courses for both undergrads and postgrads, with something to suit everyone.
