The Centre is currently piloting a new project in the area of micro-credentials. Micro- credentials are small, accredited courses designed to meet the demands of learners and organisations and are developed in consultation with regional enterprise. They offer employees a learning opportunity which is highly flexible, bite-sized and an accessible way of upskilling and reskilling for the demands of today’s workplace. Our courses are offered in fully online and blended-learning modes. These flexible delivery modes allow students to develop invaluable skills while maintaining their employment and personal commitments. Our courses offer a holistic, person-centred approach to a student’s learning experience. While specific knowledge and vocational skills are taught, our programmes also offer students an opportunity to develop their professional skills such as communications, problem-solving, presentation skills as well as their technical skills. The link between theory and practice is constantly forged as course assessment and case studies are based on real-life scenarios and can be customized to suit an individual student’s workplace. With an expansive range of programmes on offer including Science and Technology, Advanced Manufacturing, Business and Management, Information Technology, Community Education and others, there has never been a better time for prospective students to upskill or refocus their career by choosing a part-time study route. The staff of the Centre for Adult Learning and Professional Development congratulate all of today’s graduands and wishes them success in their future careers.

What our students say…… “University of Galway truly went above and beyond to facilitate my success, creating an academic environment that adapted to my needs rather than the other way around. After completing my degree, I felt well-prepared to enter the job market, and I soon secured a new position. The knowledge and skills I gained through this course made me a competitive candidate, and the experience of balancing studies with a sporting career demonstrated my dedication and time-management abilities to potential employers”.
