List of Universities in IRELAND

List of universities in the Republic of Ireland

There are seven universities in the Republic of Ireland and two in Northern Ireland.

Universities offer degrees at Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate levels and undergraduate and postgraduate diplomas over a full range of disciplines. In addition research is undertaken in many areas and the universities are also involved in continuing and distance education programmes.

Teaching at undergraduate level is normally by way of a programme of lectures supplemented by tutorials and, where appropriate, practical demonstrations and laboratory work.

Masters degrees are usually taken by coursework, research work or a combination of both.

Doctoral degrees are awarded on the basis of research.

Universities award their own degrees using external examiners to ensure consistency of standards. There is also a Higher Education Authority (HEA) which oversees the work of the universities on behalf of the Department of Education and Science. http://www.educationireland.ie
