I chose TU Dublin because of the relevance and applicability to your actual work. A lot of the projects you would do throughout the course would be focused on particular problems in your organisation. That really benefitted me because I was able to balance that against the areas I was prioritising in my job.

The MBA has helped me to better understand not only the fundamental workings of business but also cutting edge business techniques and attitudes. I feel that it has improved my confidence to make business decisions, to be a strong leader and I look forward to the possibilities it will create in my future career.
