Private Colleges set to play pivotal role in the future of Ireland's Education System
HEA confirms private colleges are in an excellent position to offer better programmes
A 2012 HEA report forecasts cuts to public funding will lead to private colleges playing a more important role in Ireland's education system in future years. Higher Education Authority Chairman John Hennessy has confirmed that the continuing growing demand for higher education in Ireland may no longer be fully met by the publicly funded institutions, and therefore private institutions are ideally positioned to increase their contribution within the higher education sector in upcoming years. He stated that at a time of cutbacks, and supported by strong industry ties and support, private colleges were often in a better position to deliver better programmes. While currently 96% of 3rd level students attend public institutions, this figure was very likely to change in the near future.
Mr Hennessy said he envisages private providers competing more regularly to deliver specific programmes funded from the public purse. With impending changes to fee structures and potential restrictive work practices within public education institutions, the former head of Ericsson Ireland has indicated that private institutions will have the facilities, staff and authority to continue to introduce innovative and challenging programmes to meet the needs of today's students entering higher education.

What our Students say about our Legal Diploma courses
Feedback from recent Legal graduates at DBS
At DBS, we pride ourselves in providing students with a learning experience that incorporates academic excellence, experienced lecturers and a dedication to supporting a work/life balance whilst encouraging our students to maximise their potential and their career opportunities.
“I thoroughly enjoyed studying for my Legal Diploma with DBS. They provided excellent course notes, the course was well structured and maintained an easy to follow pace. The tutors were of a very high standard and made me feel confident towards exam preparation. This course has increased my knowledge of law and has made me feel more confident and aware in my employment in a large law firm. I am now considering taking the next step towards becoming a Solicitor.’’ Sinead Quinn Diploma in Legal Studies
“I found the diploma to be a well structured course covering a broad range of issues within this topical area. Relevant legislation was clearly outlined and I particularly found the presentation and discussion of recent and applicable case law to be interesting and highly beneficial. There was also scope for analysis of day to day legal issues within the working environment and I found this to benefit the group as a whole as people draw on their daily experiences and analyse the appropriate issues as a class. The course focused in an effective manner on identifying the legal responsibilities and remedies for both employers and employees and how human resources can play a vital part in minimizing problems within this area.”
