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.

By choosing from DCU’s suite of micro-credentials, you can rest assured that not only will you gain an award from one of Ireland’s foremost, globally ranked universities, but because our micro-credentials are flexible and relevant, you can work towards achieving your ambitions in your own time, and at your own pace.
