Inspire and develop

The programme aims to prepare teachers who have:

a vocation to care for children and a sensitivity towards their needs
an enthusiasm for teaching and a commitment to the educative process;
a belief in the promotion of equal opportunities, recognising differences occasioned by race, religion, sex, class or disability and the need to adopt non-discriminatory practices in all these respects;
a willingness to learn and an openness to change and innovation;
a lively mind and a range of cultural and other interests.

 

Students will also gain practical experience in a range of school environments and the opportunity to study abroad. For those students wishing to pursue a career in Irish Medium Education, the programme also allows for study through the Irish language and placement in Irish medium settings. As an addition to the programme, students may also study for the St Mary’s Certificate in Religious Education.
