This MBS is designed for graduates who have taken no, or a very limited amount of management or marketing in their undergraduate degree. They may wish to pursue a career in management or marketing, or to focus on a specific strategic innovation, enterprise or marketing capability. Entrants to this programme come from a variety of academic backgrounds, including science, arts, engineering, law and social science. It is also suitable for those with professional or academic qualifications like medicine or accounting. This unique programme places great emphasis on the creative and innovation aspects of management and marketing which are essential for business careers and for the development of a knowledge economy.
The MBS (Management & Marketing) is a twelve month full-time programme which is delivered using a combination of: Lectures and Tutorials; Interactive Workshops; Case-Studies and Class Discussion; Industry Presentations; Company Visits; Guest Speakers; Research Seminars.
You will be encouraged to participate actively in discussions and group work, helping you to develop both your self-confidence and interpersonal skills.
The nature of any management and marketing course means that our graduates are broadly equipped to seek employment in the widest possible range of industries. The theoretical foundation and skills provided enable graduates to approach career opportunities with vision and flexibility, and to switch careers with greater ease, in line with their own changing career plans and with the entrepreneurial expectations of the modern economy.
Our recent graduates have found employment in a wide variety of industries, including: Education, Food & Drink, Financial Services, Information Technology, Travel & Tourism, Management Consultancy, Retail and Manufacturing industries. Over half the recent graduates from the course found immediate employment in companies like 2FM Radio, Apple, Cork County Council, Kerry Group, Musgrave Group, Linklift, Aon Hewitt, and a variety of other small to medium firms.
Support continues after graduation as we maintain regular communication with our graduates and aim to keep them informed of employment opportunities relevant to their career plans and ambitions. Where graduates desire it, we maintain a database of their current status as information for prospective employers.
