What is a postgraduate conversion course?

A conversion course is a level 8 programme designed for graduates who wish to transfer to a new discipline. They are usually between 1 and 2 years long. These courses are normally career focused, and link directly to the skills sought out by employers, giving students the best grounding possible to succeed in the employment challenge facing new graduates.

What are the benefits of a conversion course?

There are many benefits to pursuing a conversion course. Having the option to alter your original career path undoubtedly relieves a certain amount of pressure felt by final year students and new graduates. They allow you to think beyond previous educational restrictions, such as CAO points, and open the door to a new career path that you really want. The course itself will equip you with the relevant skills desired by employers, while providing you with future employment prospects that may have previously seemed unattainable.

What do employers think of conversion courses?

Conversion courses are highly-valued by employers, because they can often favour candidates with a broad educational background. These courses can give you the opportunity to demonstrate transferable skills, commitment, passion and self-motivation, which are all core personal qualities and skills that are often highly-regarded by recruiters. A change in career direction can ultimately represent personal strength, and can distinguish you from other graduates when applying for a job.

Dublin Business School offers a selection of postgraduate conversions courses focusing on various Business, Legal, Arts and IT disciplines, these programmes are open to application for all candidates holding a Level 8 Degree in a non-cognate discipline, allowing you to develop new skills to address this challenging marketplace. Many of these programmes are offered on a full and part time basis, allowing you the flexibility to further your knowledge whilst maintaining a work/life balance
