30 January. Dublin City University (DCU) and Deloitte have announced a new strategic alliance to elevate educational opportunities and drive innovation. It includes a commitment of €1 million of funding over the next five years.
This collaboration builds on a long-standing relationship between the two esteemed organisations.
The substantial investment will benefit all DCU Business School students. It includes encouraging creativity and problem-solving among students through real-world challenges in an annual hackathon, recognising and rewarding excellence through academic prizes, and bringing insight and experience from Ireland’s leading companies through Deloitte’s Best Managed Companies Programme.
Additionally, in line with Deloitte’s commitment to social inclusion, the agreement will broaden access for students through the Access to the Workplace programme with new funding dedicated to PhD Access students.
Deloitte is proud to continue our collaboration with Dublin City University. Our shared commitment to education, innovation, and societal impact makes this initiative a natural fit. We look forward to seeing the positive outcomes of our joint efforts over the duration of our relationship,
