Certificate in Biodiversity and Nature Conservation (5 ECTS) at TU Dublin

This part-time professional certificate module sets out the basis for understanding and addressing biodiversity loss. It presents the rationale for conserving natural habitats: their ecological complexity, historical continuity, and biogeographical significance. Key habitat types in Ireland are examined; the reasons for habitat loss and degradation are discussed; and our role in managing habitats for the continued survival of indigenous flora and fauna is explored.

The module is suitable for those from a non-scientific background, including (but not limited to) those involved in planning and design of the built environment. Entrance to the course is normally contingent on an appropriate honours (minimum 2.2 grade) degree.

The module will run over four consecutive days, in person in TU Dublin Bolton St, beginning Monday 18th May 2026.

For further information, please contact: Module Co-ordinator, Dr Melinda Lyons ([email protected]), Lecturer and Programme Chairperson, BSc (Hons) in Environmental Management at TU Dublin. 

The closing date for applications, subject to availability, is Friday 24 April 2026.
