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); manufacturing; international financial services; and key skills for enterprise to trade internationally. Qualifications are also available in cross-enterprise skills such as innovation, enterprise/entrepreneurship, digital marketing, and project management.
For further information on Springboard+ DBS course offerings, entry requirements, eligibility criteria and application procedures visit the DBS Springboard page or the Springboard website.

Dublin lands 37th ICIS tech conference — €2m boost to local economy
Dublin has been selected as the location for the 37th International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) in December 2016. The event, which will be attended by 1,500 global delegates, is expected to generate €2m for the local economy. Running since 1980, ICIS is the main conference for the Association of Information Systems, which has more than 4,000 members in 95 countries and is the leading professional body for information systems academics. “This is a significant coup for Dublin and reflects Ireland’s growing reputation as a global technology centre,” explained Professor Brian Fitzgerald of Lero, the Irish Software Research Centre. “Bidding to host the ICIS conference is very competitive and Dublin won out against Munich, Vienna and Istanbul,” Fitzgerald said.

Read what our Graduates have to say about Springboard+ at DBS
"Having been fortunate enough to gain a place studying Digital Marketing as part of the Springboard+ initiative at DBS I found myself enjoying the course from the start. The attitude of lecturers and students was immediately positive and encouraging, while the course content itself was thorough and enjoyable.
Gaining new skills and the general environment of encouragement certainly helped my own prospects and confidence with regard to future professional development.
I found the DBS city centre location convenient and vibrant. Overall, having seen my career benifit significantly both during and after my time at the college I feel that my participation on the course at DBS was an extremely rewarding and beneficial experience."
James Jennings, Certificate in Digital Marketing
