Hide-Progression and Career Opportunities
On successful completion of the programme, graduates may pursue doctoral level qualifications either a part-time PhD or our new part-time DBA programme.
We have recently redesigned our MBA programme so that students can work on action research assignments in their own organisations. Candidates on the programme also participate in a number of professional development workshops and travel to Boston as part of an international study tour at our partner university, Sawyer Business School at Suffolk University. These interventions have supported our students to take up positions across all types of organisations, from leading technology innovators such as Salesforce to consulting firms and banks such as AIB and State Street Bank.
Wherever you want to work, our professional development and networking events help to connect our students to leading organisations in Ireland and overseas.
