The Awarding Bodies - Marketing Institute of Ireland

Awarding Bodies are organisations that are authorised to make postgraduate awards, certification, or award qualifications.

Listing Awarding Bodies

Postgrad.ie lists all of the awarding bodies in Ireland, the UK and abroad. Most major postgraduate awards are made by bodies with statutory powers, but there are also many professional organisations that make their own awards in relation to postgraduate study. While courses and educational programmes in Ireland lead to qualifications from Irish awarding bodies, it sometimes be the case that courses lead to non-Irish awards, for example awards from international bodies, or national awards from other countries.

Certain Irish institutions are both providers of courses and programmes and also awarding bodies for postgraduate certification in their own right: these are the Irish universities and the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT).

An award is an academic qualification (degree, diploma or certificate) conferred in recognition of the successful completion of a higher education programme of study, either at undergraduate or postgraduate level, and issued by a designated awarding body. The National Framework of Qualifications sets out the criteria for major and non-major awards. Non-major awards include, minor awards, special purpose awards
and supplemental awards.

Major awards are the principal class of awards made at a given NFQ level and reflect a significant volume of learning, e.g. Honours Bachelor Degree (NFQ, Level 8), Master Degree (NFQ, Level 9), Doctorate Degree (NFQ Level 10).

In Ireland, following the changes in the qualifications system as a result recent legislation, the number of statutory bodies has been reduced as the new awards councils FETAC and HETAC have assumed the the awarding functions previously fulfilled by several other Irish organisations such as the National Council for Educational Awards (NCEA), National Council for Vocational Awards (NCVA), Solas, Teagasc, the National Tourism Certification Board (CERT) and Bord Iascaigh Mhara.

Marketing Institute of Ireland (MII) was founded in 1962. At the time, there was no university degree course available in marketing in Ireland.

MII through the years

In 1962, the MII created a new Diploma in Marketing. In the 1970s, the Institute focused on developing a degree-equivalent part-time professional qualification. They launched their own programme of study and examinations for professional qualification. In the late 1980s, MII introduced new courses and also updated their graduateship programme.

From 2000, the Marketing Institute of Ireland renewed its training and development activities. First of all, they introduced a range of new courses. These examined the challenges and opportunities presented by technology. The Institute also switched from directly operating the marketing graduateship qualification to working with third-level institutions to jointly develop programmes. The first of these was the Executive MSc in Marketing offered with DIT.

The Marketing Institute of Ireland’s suite of training and education programmes includes the Postgraduate Diploma in Management and Marketing, as well as the MSc in Digital Marketing and Analytics.
