The Graduate Certificate in Education Studies programme offers development to professionals working in areas related to education. Each student must take two modules in the area in which they wish to specialise (Education Management, Learning Difficulties and Special Needs, Adult Education, Children’s Literature, Curriculum Studies or Development Education) and a third module of their choice from the suite of modules available to them. This is a one year part-time programme delivered over two semesters. Students are required to complete 30 credits (3 x 10-credit modules) over the course of the year.
Application to this programme is online. Applicants who have not studied at UCD previously must submit original transcripts of their results in hard copy, after submitting their application online.
