Inquiry Based Learning - Research Rich Learning​
Inquiry based learning is the preferred teaching and learning philosophy for DCUK and is an increasing independent endeavour of growth. Students develop skills around each element of the inquiry process over time. One course may introduce some aspects of the inquiry process with a great degree of guidance and facilitation from instructors. Advanced courses may expand to include all four elements with students largely directing their own learning.​​

Understanding the UK Credits & Qualifications Framework
This document illustrates how "Qualifications can Cross Boundaries". The “Qualifications can cross Boundaries” leaflet is published by the regulators in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The document itself states under ‘how to use this leaflet’: “This makes it possible to draw comparisons, between qualifications and their levels for each country in the UK.” This web-page illustrates the framework in detail to enable everyone to understand the UK Credits and Qualifications transferability across the UK.
