Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) has officially launched Ireland’s first MSc in Domestic, Sexual
& Gender-Based Violence (DSGBV) Studies, marking a landmark development in education, research,
and professional practice in this critical field. The programme has been developed as part of the DkIT RiVeR Project, building on the Institute’s
established history of leadership in addressing domestic abuse, coercive control and gender-based
violence through education, training and community engagement.
The new Masters programme was launched by Margaret Loftus, an empowering speaker, survivor
advocate, and a leading voice for women navigating life after domestic violence.
