We make ourselves available and accessible to all MDU learners for guidance and support throughout their studies at UL, whether it’s managing workloads or provide extra tutor support. We understand returning to education can be challenging, both personally and professionally—that’s why we take a hands-on approach to supporting learners and are committed to helping however we can.

MDU courses do not include exams. All courses use continuous assessment to evaluate learning, which helps participants and their tutors more accurately understand their progress throughout the course. We provide on-going feedback on assignments and encourage active participation in all workshops and activities as a means of getting practical, work-related advice and improving your learning experience.

Time requirements will vary depending on the learner and the chosen course. However, most participants find they spend an average of 1 to 2 hours per day on their coursework.

Most Certificate-level programmes meet for one day every three weeks, while the Diploma and BA in Management Practice Programmes meet for two consecutive days every three weeks. The Diploma in Health Services Management meets one day every two weeks. The MSc in Supply Chain Management is delivered 100% online.

Effective management requires flexibility! We understand that you’re managing both personal and professional requirements in addition to your education. If there’s a conflict, come talk to us or your tutor to find a solution that works for your schedule.

Programme schedules can vary from course to course and year to year. For the latest information and schedule details, contact Breda Ahern on 086 066 1706 or breda.ahern@ul.ie.

Depending on your specific role and responsibilities, you may have acquired significant knowledge and understanding of management techniques and theory during your professional career. There’s no one way to learn, but sometimes a specific academic credential is required to progress your career. We take your experience into account, regardless of the level of formal education you have completed. As each individual’s circumstances are unique, please contact us to discuss your specific qualifications and career goals.

MDU programmes are designed to build on each other, similar to how sequential years of undergraduate study build towards a degree. So the certificate course qualifies you for the diploma, which qualifies you for the degree, which can qualify you for the masters programme. This structure helps you achieve your goals, enable your organisation and empower your future—however you envision it.

Supply chain management is becoming increasingly important in a number of various roles, so it’s important to look at your unique experience, responsibilities and aspirations to determine if this masters course is right for you. The best place to start is with a phone call to our programmes director, Yvonne Delaney, on 086 066 1706 to discuss your suitability.

Most workshops are held onsite at the UL campus in Limerick; however, some courses include offsite or online-only meetings, and certain employer-sponsored courses may be held at the organisation’s facilities. The MSc in Supply Chain Management is 100% online, with no onsite requirements. For details of a specific course schedule and delivery, contact Breda Ahern on 086 066 1706 or breda.ahern@ul.ie.
