Tertiary education was introduced into Ireland in 2022 by the Department of Further and Higher Education Research Innovation and Science (DFHERIS), as a state funded pilot project for the integration of the further and higher education sectors. This pilot project led to the establishment of a National Tertiary Office (NTO) with responsibility for the role out of an initial suite of tertiary programmes in September 2023. Plans are in train in 2024 to further develop the NTO range of programme offerings. This chapter reviews the pilot project for tertiary education in Ireland. It examines the development process, national and regional participating institutions, structures established, programmes offered, provision model adopted and projected developments. The objectives of the pilot project to enhance access to education, establish alternative pathways to higher education and support transitions from further to higher education are considered. The importance of institutional collaboration and partnership for the success of the Irish tertiary model is also evaluated.
