This certificate offers you the ideal opportunity to develop knowledge and skills that can help prevent homelessness, while also teaching you more about the use of effective, supportive interventions with people encountering homelessness.
DCU has developed this programme in collaboration with the Dublin Region Homeless Executive and a range of Irish homelessness agencies. As a student on this programme, you’ll examine homelessness in society, and come to understand further the personal contexts and complex needs of people and families experiencing homelessness.
You’ll study part-time, covering three ten-credit modules over three semesters (one module per semester). You’ll learn in class seminars and workshops in DCU and in online lectures, learning activities and exercises. For each module, you’ll need to allow about 42 hours, not counting your own self-directed study time.
