The Department of Lifelong Learning at the Athlone IT are delighted to offer two new  part time courses which include modules relating to religious and modern spiritual themes.  

A.. An Introduction to Theology.     B.  Introduction to Philosophy

These courses are short 12 week programmes which will provide an interesting and insightful view into the areas of Theology and Philosophy, and are very suitable for those wishing to develop a deeper sense of their own spirituality, and helpful to persons already involved pastoral areas of parish life.

 It is hoped that if there is a sufficient uptake and interest in those introductory courses to work towards developing and delivering a degree in Theology at Athlone IT.

Registration evening on Wednesday 10^th September from 5.30 pm – 8.30 pm, so join us and speak to the staff delivering the programmes and remember “Your Future Starts Here …”
