DBS advantage is an initiative which gives students the opportunity to engage in a development programme run parallel to their academic studies that prepares students for the workplace. It has long been recognised that the role of third level is not simply to impart knowledge but to contribute to maintaining a competitive and a ‘smart’  economy, and also play a valuable part in the holistic development of the person. Part of this development relates to the fostering of transferable skills in an individual. Examples of such skills are communication skills, planning, leadership, multi tasking etc. These skills are essential not just in learning or work situations, but in all areas of life. The DBS advantage assists DBS students in developing these important skills.
