A Short History of Dublin Business School

• When Dublin Business School was first established in 1975 it was known as Accountancy and Business College and provided evening courses for students preparing for the examinations of the professional accounting bodies. Success and a growing reputation in this field led to the school expanding its operations to offer full and part-time accounting, marketing and banking courses.

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU)

• In 1989 the College introduced it's first undergraduate degree programme under a franchise arrangement with Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). The academic relationship between the two institutions grew and strengthened over the years and DBS became an institution with accredited provision status of LJMU in 1995.

Quality & Qualifications Ireland (QQI) (Formerly HETAC)

• In 1992 DBS became a designated institution with the Higher Education and Training Awards Council HETAC). From initially offering programmes leading to awards at National Certificate level, our programmes now include Honour Degrees and Higher Diplomas and Masters Programmes. DBS merged with LSB College in 2000 and today LSB College is known as DBS School of Arts. Quality and Qualifications Ireland was established on 6 November 2012 under the Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Education and Training) Act 2012. The new Authority is being created by an amalgamation of four bodies that have both awarding and quality assurance responsibilities: the Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC), the Higher Education and Training Awards Council (HETAC), the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland (NQAI) and the Irish Universities Quality Board (IUQB). The new Authority will assume all the functions of the four legacy bodies while also having responsibility for new or newly-statutory responsibilities in particular areas.
