Teagasc network of Agricultural Colleges

There are six agricultural colleges in the Teagasc network:  Ballyhaise, Clonakilty, Gurteen, KildaltonMountbellew and Salesian Pallaskenry.  Individual colleges can assist applicants with any queries regarding the online application process.  In inviting applications for the Teagasc Level 5 full-time courses, Tony Pettit, Teagasc Head of Education said; ‘’We are looking forward to a more  normal and hands-on  teaching and learning experience for our college students this autumn, but we will  be implementing COVID precautionary measures based on government guidelines for education institutions.  We will also continue to harness blended delivery technologies for the benefit of our students.”

Teagasc invites applications for Level 5 full-time courses

While COVID has dominated education delivery over past year, Tony Pettit commented that: ‘’we must not lose sight of the importance of agricultural education in preparing the next generation for farming and land sector careers. Many of the students enrolling in our agricultural colleges in 2021 are most likely, to be running their own farms well beyond 2050. Two years education at an agricultural college is a small initial investment for a lifetime journey.’’
