Optimisation of Health for Performance in Irish Dancers

The Postgraduate Certificate in Optimisation of Health for Performance in Irish Dancers is a fully online programme aimed at Irish dancing teachers, parents, clinicians and older Irish dancers. The programme will focus on the many factors and issues that impact the wellness, and ultimately the performance, longevity and success of professional and competitive Irish dancers.

Applicants should hold a bachelor’s degree (NFQ Level 8) with at least a second-class honours, grade 2 (2:2) in a relevant discipline. You are also eligible to apply if you have a background in Irish dancing. This may include a qualification from any of the recognised governing bodies for Irish dancing, previous competitive or professional Irish dancing experience, either as a dancer or parent/guardian of a dancer. Other Entry Considerations: We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet the standard entry requirements, as long as you can show that you have the knowledge, skills, and experience needed for the programme. At UL, we value all kinds of learning and support different ways to qualify through our Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policy.
