Greater Flexibility to Achieve your Professional Goals

Our credit-bearing micro-credentials offer a unique flexible opportunity for you to continue to reach your career development and lifelong learning goals while balancing work and lifestyle commitments.

DCU has pioneered micro-credentials both nationally and internationally. We were the first Irish Higher Education Institution to embrace micro-credentialing, and have established a record and reputation for consistent excellence across research, practice and partnership, both within the institution, and across national and international boundaries.

DCU Business School delivered Ireland’s first national credit-bearing micro-credential FinTech - Financial Innovation in response to the rapid transformation and technological innovation in the financial services sector. Since then DCU has developed micro-credentials in collaboration with numerous partners and organisations.

Micro-credentialing advancements in DCU are;

underpinned by our expertise in delivering short learning experiences,
shaped by leading international research and,
enriched by our national and European partnerships.
