BTEC
CSN now offers a range of two year Higher National Diplomas certified by BTEC (Business and Technology Education Council). BTEC awards are internationally recognised professional qualifications. In addition, they offer students a pathway to a degree in a range of vocational disciplines.
Students who complete a BTEC HND course may apply to a number of UK colleges and universities to study for a further year towards a full bachelors degree. Linkage negotiations are currently ongoing with Irish Universities and Colleges.
While a Leaving Certificate (or equivalent) is a required minimum entry qualification HNDs, applicants are selected on the basis of talent and ability rather than by CAO points. We currently offer awards in Sports and Exercise Sciences, Multimedia, Music Performance, and Media-Audio(Radio-Broadcast Studies).
