University review finds ‘considerable number’ of programmes with low student numbers
Minister for Public Expenditure Paschal Donohoe at TU Dublin's Grangegorman campus last year. A spokeswoman says it decided to 'pause' school leaver intake on 15 programmes for September and to 'review how we can best meet the future requirements of industry'.
The review concluded that this created a situation where the later years of four-year college courses had “very low” numbers of students.My son thinks his ‘inflated’ Leaving Cert results will give him an advantage in the CAO points race. Is this true? “As TU Dublin is currently seeking to address a budget deficit and restore the university to a sustainable financial footing, we cannot run programmes that are of limited interest to students,” the spokeswoman said, in a statement.
“Furthermore, it is our ambition to increase the total number of graduates that we produce for industry in 2024 and beyond,” she said. Records show that, last month, a senior HEA official noted that a recovery plan for the university was delayed due to the “timeliness of quality of information provided”.
