of Dublin serve different purposes for the
enjoyment of its surrounds and its people;
the poets, the artists, the dreamers, the
fashionistas, the foodies and the storytellers;
they have all carved out little havens, villages
of like-mindedness within the patchwork of the
city.
Consisting of a unique diversity of cultures
IBAT College Dublin reserves a very warm
welcome to all our international students. Many

“I decided that I needed to pursue an MBA in order to progress
my career in this challenging economic environment. I am in a
senior management role in a major FMCG company in Ireland and
want to enhance my skills and contribute knowledge, direction and
leadership to my organisation, all key skills enhanced as part of
an MBA qualification. Our organisation has recently undergone a
major restructure of which I was a part of. I worked as a member
of strategic cross functional teams which I enjoyed and wanted
to understand more about. The MBA programme at IBAT College
Dublin gave me the opportunity to understand how the different
functions operate and the skills I require to progress my career
within the organisation.”
Matt Tisdall, Sales Manager.
“I recently had the honour of winning Best Prepaid Marketing
Campaign at the European Prepaid Awards and I am fully aware
that this would not have been possible had I not participated in
the IBAT College MBA programme. The knowledge I acquired from
Rory Byrne’s and Peter Meehan’s classes in particular, provided
me with the confidence and skills to deliver an award winning
marketing entry. In previous years, I would never have thought
so strategically in my approach to award submissions. The IBAT
College Dublin MBA has reshaped my perspectives about business
and has ultimately given me the courage to build the career
I’ve always envisioned. I have no doubt that it was absolutely
instrumental in providing me with the knowledge foundation to
build an award winning marketing campaign. ”
Lynda McGovern, Marketing Manager, UK with One4all.

The development of entrepreneurs can have a major impact on global economies. The MA in
Global Entrepreneurship has been specifically designed to assist the development of existing
or potential entrepreneurs. The aim of the MA in Global Entrepreneurship is to equip students
with the skills, knowledge and experience to start and maintain their own, unique and globally
competitive business and/or project and whilst doing that to obtain a Masters degree. Unlike
other entrepreneurship qualifications, the MA in Global Entrepreneurship goes beyond providing
training in business start-ups but also exposes students to the rigours of entrepreneurial
sustainability and provides graduates of this course with the necessary skillset to negate
the common pitfalls of entrepreneurial failure. Over the course of the programme, students
will engage in, and be expected to contribute to lively debate and discussion across a broad
spectrum of modules pertaining to their entrepreneurial development, culminating in a
capstone research dissertation on a specialist subject.
What will I learn?
During the first stage of study, students will discover ways to improve their own entrepreneurial
potential. This is followed by understanding the diverse international world, how to manage
entrepreneurial activity in such a world, and how to utilise appropriate techniques to identify
the right ideas and opportunities. In phase two, the focus will be on functional management
principles and how these are related to improving entrepreneurial businesses and/or projects.
In the last phase, students will need to conduct thorough research and compile an integrated
business plan for the new business or project. This business plan will meet the need of a Masters
level dissertation. The delivery of this programme will occur in three ways, namely direct
face-to-face sessions, through collaborative technologies; on-line delivery (blended learning)
comprising of on-line discussion forums, web conferencing, journal / paper reviews and reading
materials; and personal tutorials to suit the requirements of the students where applicable.
The MA in Global Entrepreneurship is validated by Coventry University. On successful
completion of the course graduates will receive a Postgraduate MA in Global Entrepreneurship
(Level 9 equivalent).
Students will be able to consistently apply knowledge concerning current research issues
in Global Entrepreneurship in an original manner and produce work which aspires to be at
the forefront of the developments in the programme of study. Students will also be able to
extrapolate from existing research, scholarship and/or fieldwork findings to identify new or
revised approaches to practice and demonstrate a critical awareness of current issues in
business and management which is informed by leading edge research and/or practice
in the field of entrepreneurship.

BACHELOR
+ ACCA
Highlights
IBAT College Dublin is offering you the opportunity to combine a Bachelor with the
prestigious ACCA qualification. With both qualifications, you will get the accountancy skills of
an ACCA, plus the solving and research skills of an undergraduate degree. This combination
of skills will significantly improve your career prospects – anywhere in the world.
What will I learn?
You’ll start with your Bachelor Degree, studying it four days per week. Simultaneously,
you will be studying your ACCA online through the award-winning platform InterActive
in partnership with Global University Systems (GUS). Please note that ACCA may
grant exemptions from some modules once you have completed an undergraduate or
postgraduate degree. The Bachelor Degree course at IBAT introduces a wide range of
business subjects in first and second year, and then investigates these subjects in greater
detail in the third and fourth year. The final year of this course gives you the opportunity
to focus on their preferred discipline and to engage in an independent research project of
7,500 words.
The ACCA syllabus consists of 14 papers divided into two main categories: The fundamental
level and the professional level. The Fundamental Level of this course is divided into two
sets of modules – knowledge and skills. The Knowledge Modules (F1–F3) introduce
students to the core areas of financial and management accounting. The Skills Modules
(F4–F9) contain six subjects which extensively cover the main technical areas that any
accountant – regardless of their future career aspirations – are expected to have mastered.
The Professional Level – Essentials (P1-P3) and Options (P4-P7) have been set at an
intellectual level equivalent to that expected of a student taking a Masters qualification. The
focus of the syllabi at this level is to further build upon the technical skills already acquired,
and explore more advanced professional skills and techniques.
Upon successful completion of both, you’ll have a Bachelor of Business (Hons) Degree plus
an ACCA qualification to show to employers. Please note that in order to become ACCA
certified you must register and be accepted as student members of the ACCA. Please see
www.accaglobal.com for details or speak with our dedicated ACCA course advisors.
