Dublin International Foundation College


About DIFC College:


Dublin International Foundation College (DIFC) was set up in Dublin, Ireland in 1999 to run specialised English Foundation courses to prepare International students for entry into partner universities in Ireland and the UK. Both undergraduate and postgraduate level courses are taught and students are placed in the course of their choice in Higher Education in Ireland or the UK.

Due to our excellent reputation for running quality foundation courses, NCUK have appointed DIFC as its exclusive delivery centre in Ireland for NCUK courses – International Foundation Year (IFY) and Pre-Masters Programme (PMP) commencing January 2005.

About NCUK:
Students from many countries outside Ireland and the UK need to complete a 'bridging course' before they can enter leading universities in the UK or elsewhere. Other students wish to undertake part of their international degree course in their home country. The Northern Consortium (NCUK) is an education organisation created in 1987 by eleven UK universities to help such students. This remains NCUK’s main objective today.

Successful completion of NCUK courses guarantees students a place on a degree course in their chosen subject of study. NCUK’s ability to guarantee student placements stems from the academic credibility of our programmes and the robust quality assurance procedures which are under the direct scrutiny of our eleven founding university partners. Since our formation we have helped prepare more than 9,000 international students for degree studies in the UK by providing bridging courses of the highest academic quality. Many NCUK graduates have obtained outstanding degree results, and are proof of the rigorous academic standards upon which we have built our reputation.

Originally, NCUK courses prepared students for study in one of its 11 founding university partners. However, as the recognition of the courses and the student numbers on the programmes grows, NCUK is developing partnerships with other UK universities as well as universities in Australia and the Republic of Ireland. This allows NCUK to meet the education needs of a very wide range of international students.

NCUK works in association with education institutions to run our courses. These are our course delivery partners. We currently run courses in China and Kenya and will launch new programmes in the UK and the Republic of Ireland later this year. NCUK is committed to developing new foundation courses and other programmes in a rapidly expanding number of countries world-wide.

NCUK offers two pre-university programmes: a pre-undergraduate course and a pre-postgraduate programme.

NASA Launches Students into Orbit

In a 20-foot vertical spin tunnel at the NASA Langley Research Center, aerospace technologist Steve Riddick tests free-flying models of fighter aircraft, transport vehicles and capsule vehicles to see how they perform under different conditions. “It’s one of the better places to give a tour because there’s a lot of visual stimulation with that tunnel,” Riddick said. “You get to actually see something going on, as opposed to some computer collecting data.” And that’s what STEM is all about. As the United States focuses more on these academic subjects, NASA is on a mission to engage students, educators and families in STEM fields, as well as to strengthen the future workforce of the organization and the nation. Almost half of NASA’s current workforce consists of baby boomers, and by the end of fiscal year 2010, more than 20 percent of the organization’s workers will be eligible to retire, according to a 2008 presentation by Toni Dawsey, assistant administrator for human capital manage

Grant Attracts Minorities to STEM Fields

Image
The University of Texas at El Paso has received a five-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for nearly $2.9 million. The “Science for a Sustainable Future: Developing the Next Generation of Diverse Scientists” award will provide fellowships to minority graduate students in NSF-supported disciplines such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The doctoral students will build their science and teaching portfolios and bring their leading research findings into K-12 learning settings in an effort to inspire the next generation of scientists. The fellows will serve as a STEM resource for El Paso’s Early College High School (ECHS) science teachers and as mentors for the students, helping them build practical understandings of science. “This success in securing federal funding from the National Science Foundation is a good example of the quality of competitive proposals UTEP faculty generate, integrating education and research benefiting our students an
