The
Institute of Bankers in Ireland is the leading professional
education body in banking and financial services with a membership
of over 30,000, as well as over 40 corporate
members.
Founded in 1898, the Institute has an established tradition as an independent professional body committed to the education and professional development of banking professionals throughout the island of Ireland.
In spring 2006, the Institute of Bankers and University College Dublin entered into a long-term strategic alliance to enhance and develop the education and research in banking and financial services. Under the terms of the alliance, the Institute of Bankers' School of Professional Finance became the first ever recognised school of the University.
Through the new school, the Institute ensures that its members have access to curricula of the highest international standard, informed and enriched by a continuing programme of research.
Banking has become a highly competitive global business providing an enormous range of financial services. As a result, the Institute's remit has broadened beyond banking and it serves the wider financial services community. Its mission is to develop fully the professional potential of the men and women working in banking and financial services.
The Institute is a quality driven, innovative organisation that informs and responds to the educational needs of the sector. Its portfolio of professional and specialist educational programmes is designed to support students in achieving their highest career and educational aspirations, irrespective of the level at which they enter. It is one of the most comprehensive educational portfolios in financial services offered anywhere in the world and ranges from certificate to masters degree.
Because members combine work and study, the Institute offers mainly part-time, post-experience programmes. Both conventional and distance education approaches are used to create programmes that are open, student centred, quality driven and afford flexibility regarding time, pace and place of study.
