Professionals looking to build new technical skills in areas including sustainable energy, environmental monitoring, transport planning and geospatial analysis can now apply for four School of Engineering at Trinity College Dublin micro-credentials beginning in September 2026.
The courses have secured subsidised places under the Higher Education Authority's learner fee subsidy initiative, allowing eligible participants to receive an 80% fee subsidy through Springboard+.
Subsidised places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis to applicants who meet both the course entry requirements and the learner fee subsidy eligibility criteria.
The four available micro-credentials are:
Develop practical skills in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), spatial data analysis and mapping techniques used across sectors including planning, environmental management, infrastructure and consultancy.
Gain an understanding of air quality monitoring, pollution assessment techniques and approaches to improving air quality in urban and industrial environments.
Explore the technologies and engineering principles behind solar energy systems, with a focus on practical applications in the transition to low-carbon energy.
Learn how transport systems are analysed, modelled and planned to support sustainable mobility and evidence-based decision-making.
