We are committed to supporting the future development and education of Deaf/ HoH students through a programme of partnership with DCU and in accommodation services.
Currently we are working with DCU by funding the bursary support for the B.Ed. ISL pilot programme with an aim to continue supporting this into a second intake of students in 2024.
