Return to Education with a 2 Year Undergraduate Degree

At National College of Ireland, we understand the demands of a busy lifestyle so we have designed our part-time accelerated business courses in a flexible way to ensure that you can work towards your undergraduate degree while keeping up with multiple commitments such as work and family life.

Both of our accelerated degrees in Business Management and HRM Strategy and Practice are condensed into 3 stages across 2 years. This means that you will complete your degree in just 2 short years, half the time of most part-time undergraduate business degrees. Also, the block delivery nature of these programmes will provide the opportunity for more in-depth development of knowledge as learners will be able to focus on one module at a time.

Scheduling details for each stage can be found on the course pages.
