As part of a plan to tackle the rising cost of living and make learning more accessible for all, DkIT has announced plans to significantly reduce fees on selected flexible and professional certificate courses for the new academic year.
These part-time programmes are heavily subsidised and offer up to €1200 off the fees of in-demand courses.
You can now study a select number of individual modules which are components of longer programmes within the school of Business and Humanities.
Each module is a stand-alone 'mini-course' which will earn you academic credits following successful completion of any associated coursework and or exams. It's then possible to accumulate those credits over time, towards a nationally recognised award such as a Higher Certificate or even a full Degree.
