For every international student, the time of studying in Ireland must be an unforgettable time in life. Either you came to Ireland for your undergraduate study or Masters, there is a dilemma after graduation – to stay in Ireland for the Irish stuff you like, or to go back to home country and first language? To continue pursue a worldwide recognized degree in Ireland or to go back home get a job and start your career?
Guess what, you can have both!
Five reasons to join Bord Bia Smurfit Msc in Global Business programme!

UCD Smurfit Business School is Ireland’s leading business school offering a world-class MBA, Masters for business and non-business graduates, a PhD programme and Executive Development courses. It is the only Irish business school whose programmes are consistently ranked in the world’s top 100 by the Financial Times and the Economist Intelligence Unit. It is noteworthy that graduates from all backgrounds are welcomed for this programme. In addition, the 8 courses will be released separately throughout the 23 months. Students come back from markets every 5 months for 2 modules each time. So the study will combine with market practice and will not be very concentrated. Even if you don’t have a business background, you will have enough time and practice to catch up.
