Pathway Programmes

Ulysses College offers two types of Pathway Programmes: Preparatory University Programme for International Students and Ulysses College of English Pathway Programmes.

Preparatory University Programme for International Students.

The overall aim of the programme is to provide international learners with the opportunity to build their language, knowledge, skill and competence for participation in higher education. This intensive programme prepares learners specifically for progression to third level education. The learner may then apply to third level education providers either in their home countries or in Ireland.

Learners may choose from science, engineering or business disciplines. The programme offers learners an opportunity to gain valuable skills in the areas of academic research, IT, communications, personal and professional development along with specialisms in maths, physics, biology, marketing practice, manual and computerised accounts or safety & health at work and materials science.

One of the many strengths of this programme is the inclusion of project support both at group and individual level. This intensive resource allows learners to gain the skills and confidence required to produce high standards of academic project work, including written and oral assignments whilst also preparing them for written examinations.

An all-inclusive package of full tuition together with travel & accommodation is available to all learners.

The programme is designed to:
