This program equips graduates for careers in social care, offering aid and support to at-risk individuals in both community and residential settings. Social care professionals may find employment working with various groups, including neglected or abused children and adolescents, individuals with disabilities, and elderly populations. The curriculum incorporates diverse teaching methods, featuring two 12-week practical placements during the second and third years (totaling 400 hours annually) at social care organizations. Since these placements involve direct contact with vulnerable populations, admission offers may be rescinded if candidates fail to pass the mandatory Garda vetting procedure.
