Find out why UCD Smurfit School is Ireland's leading business school and one of the top ranked schools in Europe and the World. Take part in our Experience visit and Experience the UCD Smurfit School MBA for yourself.

Our international visitors last year returned home with a range of favourite experiences:

"I thoroughly enjoyed it, it gave me a great feeling for the Smurfit MBA and encouraged me to complete my application"

"The sessions really allowed me to gain a better understanding of the benefits of attending an MBA program overseas. Ireland is a progressive country with lots of growth potential...an excellent place to further develop my career! The highlight for me was the close-knit feeling of your school. I have gravitated to schools with smaller class sizes for precisely that reason, small teacher/student ratios for greater sharing of experiences and information...Being able to chat informally with alumni over dinner was very rewarding."

Participants invited to Ireland will experience many aspects of UCD Smurfit School MBA life, including:

• Meet with UCD Smurfit School professors, students and alumni
