Are you aware of the range of courses that we offer within the School of Arts ?
 
In 1999 DBS acquired the School of Arts from LSB College and since then we have continued to offer students a wide range programmes in the areas of Arts and Humanities. This acquisition subsequently led to us to become Irelands first private college to be awarded accreditation from the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI)

Programmes on offer in the school include areas such as Psychology,   Counselling & Psychotherapy, Social Science, Film Studies, Film Literature & Drama and Journalism.

DBS is also renowned for the fantastic range of School of Business programmes which offer students the opportunity to study Accounting, Marketing, Information Systems, Business and Law. Check out the complete list of School of Business programmes today. 

The Higher Education Careers Services Unit (HECSU) has published a longitudinal study which reveals the impact of part-time courses on career progression. The study reveals that levels of employment stability are particularly high for part-time students with four out of five working throughout their study and two years later, mostly full-time and with the same employer.

Jane Artess, director of research at HECSU said; “Part-time study clearly benefits both the employer and employee as well as wider society. Students quickly enjoyed the advantages that they had gained from their course after graduating, using what they had learnt very effectively – and to their advantage - in the workplace.

“Employers who support staff through their studies are set to gain the most, with a higher chance of retaining talented employees who are better engaged and equipped to do their job.”

The report’s co-author Claire Callender, Professor of Higher Education Policy at Birkbeck, University of London, said: “Our research clearly shows the value of part-time study – how it improves skills, leads to higher salaries, and boosts social mobility. As a result of their studies, 83 per cent of students surveyed, felt better qualified to do their jobs and 63 per cent had taken on more responsibilities at work.


If you are in full-time employment, why not learn while you earn and study an Evening Degree with DBS.
