Programme Outline
WIT School of Business is committed to business postgraduate education, so unlike many other MBS programmes the WIT MBS has a distinctive change in
tone from undergraduate to postgraduate. This MBS programme stands apart for its pace, rigour and depth. The programme moves beyond passive
knowledge acquisition. Instead emphasis is placed on developing skills of critical thinking, analysis, debate, dealing with high levels of ambiguity, decision
making and the simultaneous treatment of interdependent decisions in a more complex environment.
Programme Structure
Student Testimonial
“The MBS course helped bridge the gap between undergraduate and working life. The course involved subjects that allowed you to work on “real life”
projects that helped you gain the skills that are required when entering the working world. Employers looked favourably on this, and it was an interesting
topic of conversation in interviews. I would highly recommend the experience to everyone.” Ms. Laura O’Brien - Group Internal Communications
Coordinator for Brown Thomas. (Laura is MBS Marketing Graduate)
Careers opportunities
Graduate of the MBS have gone on to gain employment in a myriad of public and private sector organisations at a level where they can make a real
contribution to their workplace. The programme has also been of value to those setting up new ventures in knowledge-based and high technology
industries and to policy makers.
