Teaching methods

While predominately case study based, we use a range of teaching methods including lectures, seminars, role-playing, guest speakers, simulations and practical projects.

Class profile

Our students come from diverse professional backgrounds, including accountants, actuaries, lawyers, doctors, marketing managers, IT programmers and engineers. We attract students from all over the world – almost 50% of our students come from overseas, while 75% have spent part of their career overseas – and the average age of a UCD full-time MBA student is 31 years.

Class size

Our classes are small, with an average of 40 students, and they are divided into learning teams of four or five people. Individual and team-based assignments form the backbone of the course through lectures, casework and projects, and we stress the use of technology in learning.

Support services

Our dedicated programme team is there to help you make the most of your learning experience. We can assist with everything from accommodation arrangements and visas to one-on-one career advice.

Career management

Personal development tools, company visits and in-company projects are carefully designed by the MBA career management centre to fast track your ambitions. Participants are encouraged to use the 7 week in-company project to develop experience and contacts in their target industry and/or function.

Mentor programmes

We run two mentor programmes. Recent graduates help you navigate your course and focus on job opportunities, while a more senior graduate helps guide you in your chosen discipline towards new career opportunities.

International field trips

An international field trip is an integral part of the full-time MBA. This trip is linked to the cross-cultural management module and consists of company and university visits, seminars, alumni meetings, political engagement and cultural activities. Currently, participants have the option of trips to China or India. Trips are held in March each year and the cost is included in the programme fee.
