Kerry College Denny Street Campus located in Tralee town centre is dedicated to offering Health Care and Social Sciences programmes. Last September, saw the introduction of a new Level 6 Advanced Social Care course.
The Social Studies Department has already a large volume of applications for September 2020 intake and looks forward to the provision of further seminars to engage secondary, further education and third level student cohorts going forward.
