Course Description

This course is for you if you have a general interest in Europe, European languages, and you would like to know more about how the European Union (EU) works. As Europeans, each EU citizen needs to understand their European neighbours. This includes not only learning how to speak their neighbour’s language, but also learning about European history, economic issues, legal and cultural aspects, and the EU’s political institutions. The Level 5 award in European Studies introduces students to all of these areas.

About Ceim Eile Templemore College

Templemore College was founded as Templemore Vocational School in 1934, serving the community as a traditional vocational school.

The Intermediate Certificate was introduced in 1974, and in 1977 the Leaving Certificate was introduced.

In 1990, the school adopted the new name of St Sheelan's College. HoTheyver, in 1999, because of a reduction of post-primary enrolments, the decision was taken by North Tipperary VEC and the Department of Education and Science to develop the College as a Further Education College.

In 2000, Céim Eile, a programme which addresses the challenges experienced by early school leavers, was established in the College.

During the next few years the range of programmes available in the College increased, and in 2004 the phasing out of mainstream second level was complete with the graduation of the final Leaving Certificate class.

In 2012 the Board of Management of the College agreed to change the name of the College from St Sheelan’s to Templemore College of Further Education with a view to establishing both the location and the range of educational services it now provides.
