Student testimonials

Fionn Collins - Class of 2012 and CIMA Scholar, Finance Manager, Procter & Gamble

"The SMA course has been a very valuable experience for me, both professionally and personally. The diversity of my classmates' experiences provided a mutual learning environment over and above the modules themselves. The quality and standard of the modules means that I will be able to complete my final CIMA exam just two years after beginning the course. The course also provides opportunities to develop strategic skills and experiences that are otherwise unavailable through the "traditional" CIMA route. I would highly recommend the MSc SMA to anyone seeking to develop their financial leadership skills with the drive to complete an intensive yet rewarding course."

Karin Weber – Class of 2013 and CIMA Scholar, Operations Analyst, Pfizer

"After graduating in Germany and a head-start working experience as personal assistant at senior management level, I wanted to bring my knowledge and skills to a higher level while working in Ireland. I thoroughly researched a number of degree programmes. In the end, the SMA programme was the obvious choice. The programme modules further develop my passion for both numbers and people in organisations, the lecturers are excellent, and the built-in fast-track to the highly regarded CIMA qualification definitely are highlights of this programme."

Rebecca Uzell - Class of 2013, Finance Analyst, Aer Lingus

"The current position I hold is that of a Financial Analyst within the Finance department of Aer Lingus. With the support of my employer I decided that the dual approach of combining a master degree with an opportunity to attain the CIMA qualification would be the most effective pathway for me. The knowledge I gained through modules such as strategic management, organisational behaviour, IFRS, performance management, and project management has substantially furthered my awareness and understanding of the management accountant’s role and my decision making abilities. Although first year has been busy I have really enjoyed it and can’t quite believe how much I have learned! Overall it has been a very rewarding experience thus far."
