This is a half-time course primarily aimed at people eligible for funding under the Labour Market Activation Scheme.

For further eligibility information and to see if you meet the criteria for these places please visit the Graduate Studies office.

Application will be through the PAC on-line system (www.pac.ie), course code MHG71. NUI Maynooth will cover the cost of the application, so students should hit the default payment option. The course is not being run this academic year.

Entry requirements are a degree in any subject (excluding CS or closely related).

At this time we do not envisage us filling all the places available but, if we get more applications than places, entry will be competitively based on first degree results.
