ULearning courses allow progression from Specialist Diplomas to Masters and on to Professional PhD at your own pace.

Delivery of the programmes is a hybrid of traditional distance education, online participation, and face-to-face tutorials. Students are provided with a full set of course materials, including course notes, learning material, text books and, where applicable, software.

In addition, tutorial and seminar sessions are held at the University of Limerick throughout the programme. Students are supported by experienced academic and industry subject matter experts and tutors both a the face-to-face sessions and online and by a professional team of support staff.

In line with a focus on capacity building within the participant’s organisation, an in-company project is a key element of each course. This requires the partcipant to apply learning from the taught modules to their own organisation and deliver a defined measurable benefit that has a significant impact on the company.
