Welcome to the MBA Programme

If you are feeling like an injection of pace in your career or even feeling a bit stuck, we can help you move forward. If you are looking for the opportunity to control your own career direction, we can guide you.

The UCD Smurfit MBA Programme will deepen your understanding of all aspects of business. Demystifying how decisions are made in the corporate world and challenging you to develop your own attitude towards business in the global environment.

Typically our students come from a variety of backgrounds, representing different cultures, industries and expertise. This ensures cross functional, cross sectoral and cross cultural learning leading to active class interaction. Students are bound together by a desire to learn, be challenged and ultimately succeed and lead. 

Core subjects ensure a solid framework around which real world experience can be applied. Optional subjects enable students to delve deeper into particular areas and provide a basis for future specialisation.

Our Personal and Professional Development Programme provides you with an awareness of your core abilities and the tools and structure to develop them. Our careers service works with you from day one to guide you towards your unique goals.

Combine all of the above with our world class teaching staff and your MBA experience at UCD Smurfit School is one that will inspire you. It will continue to enhance your career long after you have completed the course.

So the question is, what are you waiting for?

We look forward to meeting you,

Orla Nugent
Director, MBA Programmes
