Course Structure

This full-time FETAC Level 5 Nursing Studies Course is designed to prepare students for academic programmes in the nursing sector and/or employment in the health sector as a care assistant. The FETAC Level 5 Nursing Studies course is structured to provide a foundation in the theory and practice of Health Science for graduates who intend to enter the nursing, paramedical or community care service.

Work experience is a mandatory module. Students will be required to carry out 100 hours outside of scheduled class time in order to satisfy the requirements of the FETAC work experience module.
