Carlow College
Established in 1782, Carlow College, St Patrick’s has a long history of third level education. Our story began as a lay college and seminary before transforming into the vibrant, liberal arts community you see today.
We know that careers, and the pathways to achievement come in all shapes and sizes. That’s why our approach to third level education is personal, supportive and focused on the individual. Our college is opening horizons, providing relevant and practical third level courses ranging from humanities to psychology, social care work, community/advocacy and many more.
