Wide choice of courses at Belfast Institute
Over 4,000 school leavers each year are choosing to continue their studies full-time at Belfast Institute, Northern Ireland’s biggest College.
Many students are attracted to studying in a more adult environment. In addition, due to the vast range of courses on offer at Belfast Institute, students have a wide range of career options open to them and this is particularly important if a student has a particular career path in mind for which they may need specific qualifications.
One of the key attractions of the College is the excellent facilities on offer – indeed facilities at Belfast are among the best to be found within education in Northern Ireland.
Some examples include the live tv and radio recording studios in the media suite, a fully operational theatre for performing arts students and a fully licensed restaurant run by hospitality students.
Courses on offer at Belfast Institute for students following their GCSEs or other equivalent qualifications include at least 20 different subjects at A Level (AS & A2), a wide variety of jobskills programmes in areas ranging from plumbing to wall and floor tiling and over 40 different vocational courses (Applied GCE A Levels, BTEC National Diplomas etc) in areas as diverse as business and IT to childcare, dental nursing and animal care.
Courses following A Levels or equivalent
For those students who have completed A Levels or AVCEs etc Belfast Institute offers the widest range of HND Programmes in Northern Ireland, as well as an increasing number of Foundation Degrees.
Fashion management, architectural technology and business are just some of the many courses to choose from. Approximately 60% of students who complete a HND or Foundation Degree at the College progress to degree courses, many to the second or even third year of the course.
Of the remaining 40%, a significant number gain employment soon after completing their course. HNDs and Foundation degrees combine academic and practical elements to ensure students are taught the skills needed by today’s employers.
