Introduction

Study within the DCU Business School – AACSB accredited in 2016, putting it in the top 5% of business schools worldwide.

This master is the leading graduate programme of its kind in Ireland. The MSc in Management (Business), is designed for people who do not have an undergraduate degree in management or business, but who would like to have a thorough preparation for a career in managing a business. It is a busy and intensive programme which runs for 12 months commencing in September. People taking this programme typically wish to complement their undergraduate degree with a business qualification at the masters level or would like to convert from their original undergraduate discipline and gain business acumen at a masters-level. We do not assume any prior knowledge of the modules or topics covered.

We also offer the MSc in Management (Strategy) for candidates who hold an undergraduate degree in a business related discipline, along with an MSc in Human Resource Management, MSc in Digital Marketing, MSc in Finance and an MSc in Electronic Commerce.

Who is eligible?

If you have achieved a second class honours grade 2 honours degree in a non-Business discipline, you may still obtain a place. This will depend on the availability of places. You may be invited for an interview.
