Online courses can be accessed from any computer or laptop with an internet connection. You do not need special software. You will be given access to our Student Portal, where you can see your timetable, access your study materials, and manage your account.
Lectures are delivered using Zoom, and login details and instructions on how to join a Zoom meeting can be found in your Student Portal. During the live lectures, you can interact with your instructor via the chat function. When appropriate, students will be encouraged to activate their microphone so that they can ask questions and communicate with other students. You do not have to enable your camera if you don’t want to.
Lecturers use communication technology interactively to ensure an engaging learning experience for all students. Lectures are recorded and available for download following each session. Throughout the course, the Student Services team is on hand to support you.
Our online experience is designed to be just as interactive, supportive, and inspiring as the UCD campus experience. Online courses will continue to be available in the future, too.
If you are studying an online course, your assessments will also be submitted online. There are generally two types of assessment.
For courses assessed through a written project/paper and reflection log: you will have two weeks following the end of the course to complete and submit the final assignment. The written project is generally around 3,000 words (that’s about 5 pages of a standard Word document).
For courses that involve a computer-based final exam: when your course includes a timed assessment component (for example, a review quiz), this will be administered during the scheduled online session themselves and will need to be returned within a set period.
Your UCD Professional Diploma will be issued electronically on a secure platform, with a link that you can share with employers and others wishing to verify your credentials. You’ll also be able to add the diploma to your LinkedIn profile to demonstrate your achievement to your network as well as recruiters and potential employers searching for individuals with your skills and experience.
This Professional Diploma is not on the National Framework of Qualifications as a credit-bearing course. This is not unusual for professional courses of this nature, where the need is for fresh and actionable skills (in a shorter form course) that are demonstrated immediately in the workplace.
For part-time courses we have the below payment options:
- Full payment before the start of the course
- 5% deposit to secure the student's place and paying the remaining balance in instalments before the start of the course
- 50-50 payment option (students will be required to pay 50% of the fees before the start of the course, with the remaining balance due within 30 days of the course commencing)
Please note that standard terms and conditions apply, which you can review here: https://www.ucd.ie/professionalacademy/terms-and-conditions/
A Professional Diploma is a relatively short, practical course that provides learners with up-to-date skills in a professional area. Because of their tight focus and duration, they are stand-alone qualifications and are not referenced to NFQ levels or university degree/diploma courses.
Professional Diplomas are suitable for learners wishing to advance their professional skills and career prospects, rather than their academic credentials. Professional Diplomas are generally not accepted for transfer credit onto academic courses, but are widely recognised and valued by employers.
