The Destination College works in partnership with local secondary schools, education providers and community based projects to ensure that students from socio-economic disadvantaged backgrounds have the opportunity and support to fulfill their educational potential and aspirations by breaking down the barriers that impede upon their access to, and participation in, 3rd level education.

The programme seeks to achieve this by offering potential students:

  •  In-school peer mentoring
  •  Community mentoring
  •  Academic Support
  •  Campus tours/ Shadowing days

A Parent and guardian support programme is offered to include information on:

  • HEAR
  • CAO
  • SUSI
  • Financial supports
  • Alternative routes to University
