The Modular Programme in Science & Technology Studies is a part-time programme which focuses on the knowledge and skill requirements of high-tech industries. The modular structure is designed with flexibility in mind, enabling students to balance study with work and other commitments and to accumulate credits over a time frame that suits their lifestyle. Learning is delivered jointly by NUI Galway and UL (University of Limerick) via a blend of distance and online resources, on-campus tutorials and labs, and company-based projects.
