Midlands students will soon have the choice to attend a degree programme, without worrying about CAO points.
The Laois Offaly Education Training Board is teaming up with TUS to offer a Culinary Arts course and a Music Technology course and with SETU to offer Computing and Business programmes.
The new courses will be available for applications next September.
