Trinity College Dublin (TCD) was the first Irish university to be part of The Open University’s FutureLearn initiative. Trinity runs nine massive open online courses (moocs) as part of FutureLearn.
FutureLearn has now partnered with UCD to provide a massive open online course called Planetary Urbanisation: Global Challenges in a Changing World.
The Open University is a partner of Uversity – a learning programme that allows students to design a personalised programme by choosing modules from a range of Irish universities and institutions. Uversity will admit students from around the world for its flagship programme, a Master of Arts in Creative Process. Modules will be offered in Art, Design, Drama, Dance, Music, Literature, Culture, Creative Writing, Creative Technologies and Cinema and Broadcast Arts. The Open University is one of 24 partners on the island of Ireland.
