“With a growing appetite for hybrid or fully online learning, UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School created new, flexible learning options which allow students to complete their degree from one of the world’s leading business schools while continuing to work and manage caring responsibilities,” said Orna O’Brien, director of global campus at UCD College of Business.

“We completely redesigned three key programmes to ensure flexibility and accessibility with students at the heart of every decision. This includes complete access to UCD Smurfit School’s world-class faculty, student support teams, platforms and facilities, and the UCD campus experience, if desired, and on a student’s time,” continued Dr O’Brien.

UCD Smurfit School’s Executive MBA programme, Master’s in Management Online and Master’s in Project Management Online programmes offer comprehensive business, leadership and management education without requiring participants to put their careers on hold because of the highly flexible delivery modes and innovative curriculum and materials.

Upon graduation, students join the UCD Business Alumni network which has more than 90,000 individuals in 143 countries who can offer a wealth of experience, resources and networking opportunities. Students also have access to the UCD Smurfit careers team which is consistently placed among the best in the world by Financial Times global rankings.

UCD Smurfit School’s Executive MBA programme is ranked 64th in the prestigious Financial Times global rankings and provides an opportunity for students to unlock and develop their leadership potential, accelerate their careers and build their international network while applying what they learn in real-time in the workplace.
