Gaelchultúr achieves third-level status
July 17, 2013
Gaelchultúr is pleased to announce that we have achieved the status of third-level institution.
We have chosen the name Coláiste na hÉireann for the new institution. As Coláiste na hÉireann, we are about to launch our first course, a post-graduate diploma in translation (Dioplóma Iarchéime san Aistriúchán). This programme, a level 9 NFQ course, will commence in late September this year and will run for three semesters. Third-level status was awarded to Gaelchultúr by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI).
The Dioplóma Iarchéime san Aistriúchán programme is aimed at those who already have a good standard of Irish, but who wish to learn translation skills or to enhance the skills they already have. It is also ideal for those who work through Irish on a daily basis – teachers and journalists, for example – who wish to improve their standard of written Irish. The course will also benefit those who are interested in working as a translator, administrator or lawyer-linguist in one of the European institutions.
A blended learning approach will be used in the programme, featuring a combination of online study, live online classes, and lectures and tutorials in the classroom. Since a great deal of the course material will be available on our e-learning website, ranganna.com, we expect a high level of interest in the programme from all corners of the country.
