TU Dublin is committed to working in partnership with appropriate institutions and organisations, in Ireland and abroad. The University recognises the mutual benefit which arises from the development of collaborative programmes of study, and more importantly, the increased opportunities which the provision makes available to a wider range of students.
TU Dublin is committed to providing access to students of all ages and backgrounds, and to achieving quality and excellence in all aspects of work.
To date the University has developed collaborative arrangements with a number of external organisations.

Through its Quality Assurance Office within Academic Affairs, TU Dublin provides a validation and franchising service, based on its quality assurance procedures, to academic institutions, professional bodies, companies and other organisations.

In developing formal collaborative programmes which involve a TU Dublin award, the University will wish to assure itself that partner institutions offer an ethos and environment for teaching and learning appropriate to higher education and to the particular proposed collaboration.
