Law Micro-credentials

We are now offering three new micro-credentials in the area of Law and Innovation. The use of technology, software tools and artificial intelligence are transforming legal practice. These 12-week micro-credentials will be of interest to those that want to upskill in the area of ‘lawtech’ and understand the relationship between law and technology, including using software tools as a means of analysing legal information.

Micro-credentials are short, accredited modules for professional development and are innovative in their approach to life-long learning. Our micro-credentials are credit bearing, research-led and quality assured by leading Irish universities.
