Saor Ollscoil na hÉireann (The Free University of Ireland) was established in 1986 by a small group of educationalists with a creative vision of the life-long learning process.
The University provides third level education to degree standard for mature students in the area of the humanities and social sciences. and makes awards in the Liberal Arts at BA, MA and PhD levels.
The Bachelor of Arts (Humanities) programme is designed to:
- Open access to higher education to those who have not previously participated in higher education.
- Provide access to the klowledge and aptitudes required to enable citizens to participate fully in the economic, social and political spheres of Irish society
- Open access to the wealth of culture and tradition in Irish society and contribute to the study and understanding of our cultural heritage
Strong emphasis is placed on student-centred learning in a supportive, exam-free environment. Students are encouraged to develop their own thinking through dialogue and essays instead of cramming for final exams.
All lecturers and administrators offer their time and expertise free of charge. Students pay only a nominal registration fee per year for their courses. Fees are used for administrative costs.
If you are interested in our approach to education and learning, we invite you to join us, and we look forward to meeting you when you register.
