Recognising Your Contribution – The Uaneen Module

Such is DCU’s dedication to helping you to develop your full personal potential, we are the first third level institution in the Republic of Ireland to formally recognise and reward the achievement of holistic education by accrediting a module in extra-curricular activities – the Uaneen Module.

This unique scheme formally recognises the work done and your learning acquired through extra-curricular activities, for example with the Students’ Union, clubs, societies, community work and extra-curricular activity in general. Academic credits are awarded for this optional module.
