What is Springboard?
The Springboard initiative in higher education offers free, part-time courses at certificate, degree and masters level.
All courses lead to qualifications in enterprise sectors which are growing and need skilled personnel, including Information and Communications Technology (ICT), International Financial Services, and key skills for enterprise to trade internationally. Qualifications are also available in cross-enterprise skills such as innovation, entrepreneurship, digital marketing and project management.

All courses are part time, enabling you to keep social protection supports.

Read what our Springboard Graduates have to say about DBS

"The recession hit everyone hard and trying to find a job is not the easiest thing. So rather then just firing off another CV, why not do something to be competitive like upskill? Springboard gave me the chance to get a qualification that I otherwise would not have had the finances to do. The  hands on attitudes of the lecturers and the ease in which I could relate to them made learning enjoyable. If you didn’t understand something they were more than willing to clarify it.

The best thing? Everything was put up on the student Moodle, I could access all the notes anywhere, which made studying while on the move easy, and the location, in the middle of Dublin just made getting in and out a breeze.

 I would heartily recommend a Springboard course in Dublin Business School to anyone looking to upskill."
