Graduate Certificate in Technical Writing

The University of Limerick is a prestigious institution known for its excellence in teaching, research, and innovation. Situated on a beautiful riverside campus, the university offers a diverse range of programs across disciplines such as arts, humanities, social sciences, business, education, engineering, science, and health sciences. With a strong commitment to experiential learning and industry engagement, the University of Limerick provides students with opportunities to gain practical skills, work experience, and develop a global perspective. The university's vibrant campus life, state-of-the-art facilities, and supportive community contribute to a transformative educational experience.

The aim of this distance learning programme is to offer flexible access to certification through distance learning for people who lack qualifications in Technical Communication. The programme emphasises that the job of a technical writer entails more than writing – graphics, cultural issues, layout, and design all play a part, and students receive tuition on all of these areas. Graduates will be unique in Ireland, qualified to work as technical writers, and in a variety of related roles such as editing, web design, and technology journalism. In addition, graduates may be eligible to gain employment in the areas of instructional design and e-learning as they also receive tuition in these areas. Typically, our graduates gain employment in Ireland but as the programme is university accredited, it is also possible to gain employment abroad.
