MIC Thurles Campus
The MIC Thurles campus has a range of high quality facilities to support the equally high standard of teaching and learning here.
Established in 1837 as a second-level school, the MIC Thurles main building became a major seminary a few decades later and remained so until the early 2000s. St Patrick's College (as it was known before it was incorporated by MIC in 2016) welcomed back lay students to its first Bachelor of Arts programme in 1988 and the first BA in Education degree began in 2003. Though the campus still has its original 19th century buildings, much of the site has been completely refurbished and refitted to the highest modern standards in recent years. From the spacious, manicured grounds to the first-rate academic provision and warm ambiance, MIC Thurles provides an ideal setting to pursue higher education.
The quality of the lectures here at MIC Thurles is amazing. The class sizes are small and the lecturers are available to answer any questions you may have.
Lectures and Tutorials
Studying at MIC, you will attend both lectures and tutorials, and you will need to know the difference once you get to campus. Aisling and Philip explain the difference between the two.
