Professional Academy Diploma in Change Management

Master key concepts such as change models, overcoming resistance, stakeholder engagement, and strategic planning as you develop an organisational model for your own business to understand, support, and sustain change processes. Equipped with the essential skills and knowledge needed to lead successful change initiatives within your organisation, you will be able to position yourself as a confident and effective change maker. Employers recognise the need for adaptable and proactive individuals who can lead and manage change effectively as they strive to stay ahead of the curve, innovate, and thrive amidst uncertainty.

Student care is a high priority at UCD Professional Academy, which is why our Student Services team is on hand to support you throughout your time with us. They will respond to any queries you have, help you with any technical issues, and facilitate your learning experience at every point. All students are given access to our Student Portal, where you can see your timetable, access all your study materials, and manage your account.

Our online experience is designed to be just as interactive, supportive, and inspiring as the UCD Professional Academy campus experience.

Online courses can be accessed from any computer or laptop with an internet connection.

Live lectures are delivered using Zoom. During these lectures, your teachers will use technology interactively to ensure an engaging learning experience. When appropriate, students will be encouraged to activate their microphones so that they can ask questions and communicate with other students.

This course is assessed through an action learner log (worth 40% of your assessment) completed weekly and an assignment submitted after the end of the course (worth 60% of your assessment). The learner log contains reflections on the concepts learned. The final assignment is a case study essay of around 3,500 words.

Your UCD Professional Academy Diploma will be issued electronically on a secure platform, with a link that you can share with employers and others wishing to verify your credentials. You can also add this certificate to your LinkedIn profile.

UCD Professional Academy Diplomas and Certificates are designed to give your career an advantage. Developed in conjunction with industry thought leaders our courses teach practical, applied skills to support you to achieve your career and business goals. Professional Academy Diplomas are suitable for career minded learners wishing to advance their professional skills and prospects rather than their academic credentials.

The Professional Academy is an independent wholly owned part of UCD designed to address the need for skills development in the workforce. Courses tend to be short, designed and delivered by industry practitioners, and are not part of nor do they lead to a traditional University award such as a degree or a masters. They are widely accepted by employers and many students are sponsored to study by their organisation.
