Overview

The design of the Home Economics and Business (Honours) programme at Munster Technological University means the knowledge and skills gained by graduates will encompass discipline knowledge and skills in Home Economics and Business, along with an introduction into education studies. This will provide a solid foundation to develop pedagogical expertise when graduates go on to complete the PME. Graduates from the BA (Hons) in Home Economics & Business who go on to complete the Professional Master of Education, will complete their studies as teaching professionals, critical thinkers and innovators, with a broad worldview.

Career

This programme was designed between the Department of Tourism & Hospitality, MTU, and the School of Education, UCC, to allow graduates from the BA (Hons) in Home Economics & Business to seamlessly progress to the Professional Masters in Education in UCC.

However, for BA (Hons) Home Economics & Business graduates who decide that teaching is not a profession for them, they will be safe in the knowledge that this degree programme allows graduates to pursue several other career paths.

Despite not being qualified to teach at second level, graduates will have developed highly diversified skills, which can easily be utilised and adapted to other industries. Students will graduate as well-rounded individuals, with discipline expertise in Home Economics and Business, and excellent interpersonal skills, having studied four modules in Education. As an example, graduates may wish to embark in a food business related career; such will be their expertise, in culinary, food science, nutrition and business. These graduates will have a unique skillset to work in micro firms, SMEs and multi-nationals.
