THE UNIVERSITY of Limerick (UL) has received €1.7million in funding for more than 1,900 subsidised places on micro-credential courses.
Minister for Further and Higher Education Simon Harris announced almost €10m in funding nationwide to support upskilling and expanding educational opportunities.
UL was awarded 1,965 places, almost 14 per cent of the total number of subsidised places on offer nationwide.
Micro-credential courses offer small, accredited programmes awarding between one and 30 ECTS.
UL President Professor Kerstin Mey said that “this significant investment underscores UL’s dedication to fostering accessibility and flexibility in third level education, while catering to the evolving needs of professional learners”.
