Qualifications

Atlantic Technological University is a recognised awarding body, meaning the University has the authority to make awards in accordance with the National Framework of Qualifications. ATU has a comprehensive Quality Assurance and Enhancement Framework which ensures the quality of our courses.  In addition, ATU is subject to periodic reviews of the effectiveness of quality assurance procedures by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI).

Our online, flexible, and professional development courses range from level 6 certificate to level 9 masters. ATU is authorised to make its own awards in line with Ireland's National Framework for Qualifications (NFQ) meaning that these are recognised nationally and internationally.

There is no difference between qualifications achieved through ATU on-campus programmes and ATU online programmes. For example, if a student wants to study a two-year on-campus programme, the same programme delivered online would take a student four years to complete the learning is the same however the teaching is spread out to accommodate part-time, flexible learning. We have many courses at various entry levels with progression paths available to those who are eligible.
