Greater share of €2m fund for part-time learners
University College Dublin is to receive more than €250,000, the largest amount being paid out for lifelong learning initiatives through the Higher Education Authority. It has determined the allocations to each of 24 third-level colleges based on the number of flexible learners on their courses last year. This can include those who are taking part in part-time courses, or whose courses are delivered online or through distance education.
It might be expected based on student populations that UCD would get the biggest figure, as it is the largest college in the country.
