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.

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 interest topic of conversation in interviews. I would highly
recommend the experience to everyone.” Ms. Laura O’Brien - Group
Internal Communications Coordinator for Brown Thomas.
