Summary

The programme is co-ordinated by Dr TJ McIntyre of Sutherland School of Law with teaching from eminent industry specialists.

Graduates of this programme will enhance their competence by adding relevant knowledge, understanding and skills in relation to Data Protection and Governance. The programme will use teaching, learning and assessment approaches such as small group teaching, academic writing and summative examination assessments.

The programme will be delivered through two hour lectures each week over two trimesters - the first tranche will take place from January to April on Wednesday evenings at 6pm.

The second tranche of lectures will take place from September to December 2023 on Wednesday evenings at 6pm.

The Diploma has been designed to meet the training needs that have developed since the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force. The GDPR has meant that significant new data protection obligations have been imposed on Irish organisations. As a result, a wide range of organisations must now appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) with an appropriate level of expertise in data protection law and practice. Organisations not required to appoint DPOs are still obliged to carry out a range of new tasks such as Data Protection Impact Assessments and will benefit from training their staff in this area. This Diploma is designed to meet the training needs of Data Protection Officers and others involved in the compliance role in organisations and the legal community involved in this area.
