Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Patrick Prendergast:

If you were doing a course in, say financial services, you contact all the industry nearby and sit around the table and you say "what kind of curriculum would you like us develop?". The academics have a dialogue with human resources or the technical people in the industry and you co-design a curriculum. I think it is great, frankly, and we will see more of it.
