17 - Ireland - Private education
There is only one private university, the University of Buckingham.
There
are a small number of private higher education institutions with their
own degree awarding powers but without university title. In 2007, for
the first time, a profit-making private sector educational institution
was awarded degree-awarding powers.
There are also some private
institutions which have neither university title nor degree-awarding
powers but which offer programmes leading to awards of other
institutions.
These private institutions receive no direct
government funding. However, students on designated courses may be
eligible for financial help on the same basis as students in other
institutions.
