Master of Business Administration (Corporate) – (MBA)

The MBA Corporate programme is tailored to meet the requirements of the sponsoring organisation and the participants of the programme. This is achieved within the rigorous academic framework applicable to an MBA of the highest quality. In addition to gaining the breadth of knowledge across the required range of subjects, participants are strongly encouraged to focus on their own industry, their own organisation, their own professional and personal development and relevant other sources of practitioner expertise from which they can benefit. The objectives of the programme are to create tangible value for corporate clients and for each programme participant, and specifically to enable each participant to:

• create connections between theory and practice in their industry or sector;
• understand the disciplines which underpin effective management and leadership;
• develop inter-disciplinary problem-solving skills;
• foster initiative and creativity;
• be leaders of change.

Aims and Objectives:
The MBA Corporate programme is a partnership between the client organisation, DCU and each programme participant. The programme combines academic quality and rigour with the opportunity for the client organisation and participants to make a major input into programme detail, particularly the later stages. The highly interactive learning process involves input from participants, discussions, presentations, case studies and practical application.

There is a strong emphasis on teamwork to accelerate learning and develop personal skills. Action Learning will underpin most of what is done. An over-riding objective of the programme is to create an environment where accelerated individual learning and development can take place.
