Recognition & Accreditation

THE HIGHER EDUCATION & TRAINING AWARDS COUNCIL (HETAC)
HETAC is a public body established under the Qualifications (Education and Training) Act, 1999. It is the national awarding body in Ireland for higher education and training qualifications outside of the university sector at all levels up to doctoral award. All HETAC awards fit in to the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) which was launched in 2003. The NFQ was designed to create a single, coherent and more easily understood qualifications system for all levels of education and training in Ireland. It also accords with European and international developments to enhance learner mobility within and between national systems. In association with DBS, HETAC confers awards to students of the College at Higher Certificate, Degree and Postgraduate levels.

LIVERPOOL JOHN MOORES UNIVERSITY (LJMU)
In 1989 Dublin Business School formed a partnership with Liverpool Business School, part of Liverpool John Moores University. The University can trace its origins back to 1823 and is one of the largest Universities in the U.K.. The relationship developed very positively over the years and in 1995 DBS was awarded accredited status by Liverpool John Moores University. As an accredited institution, the College can design and develop its own degree programmes. In recent years, further developments have taken place between the two institutions with the launch of a range of postgraduate masters programmes. In association with Dublin Business School, Liverpool John Moores University confers awards to students on a range of Undergraduate Degree and Postgraduate Master programmes.

UNIVERSITY OF WALES
Founded by the Royal Charter in 1893 the University of Wales is the second largest University in the UK, after the University of London, with around 80,000 students enrolled on courses leading to its degrees and other qualifications. Altogether, more than a quarter of a million students have been awarded degrees from the University of Wales since it's establishment. The LL.B (Hons) in Irish Law at DBS is jointly awarded by the University of Wales and the Higher Education and Training Awards Council (HETAC). The MSc in International Business and the MSc in E-Business Management are also awarded by the University of Wales.
