The UCD Sutherland School of Law has launched four new micro-credentials for September 2022 enrolment. Since its establishment in 1911, the UCD Sutherland School of Law has delivered high quality programmes to develop their students’ critical understanding of law and their legal skills. The School works closely with law firms, government departments, and NGOs to ensure that programmes are aligned to sectoral needs.
The four new law micro-credentials are highly flexible and run part-time, allowing learners to upskill in key areas, while balancing other responsibilities or their work schedule.

The Foundations of Environmental Law micro-credential is led by Dr. Andrew Jackson and runs online.

The application deadline for the above law micro-credentials is the 12th of September, 2022. All four micro-credentials are also taught as modules on UCD Sutherland School of Law’s Masters programmes, including the MSc Environmental & Climate Law programme and the LLM European Law & Public Affairs, meaning learners can take them as a standalone course, but also have the opportunity to stack them towards the MSc.
New Law micro-credentials will be launched for January 2023 enrolments. If you’d like to keep on top of all course launches, sign up to the UCD Micro-credentials newsletter.
