TESTIMONIALS

BSc Marketing Innovation and Technology
I loved the fact it promoted entrepreneurship. It seemed to span technology and innovation and looking for creativity in different modules. The course itself is brilliant for people who want to go into business but want to approach it with a creative point of view.

Tadhg Guiry, Founder, Evolve Marketing

Bachelor of Business Studies
“The experience I got from the degree and from university as a whole, definitely helped me in starting the business. In DCU, even if you don’t study business, there are so many stepping stones that you can take along the way – so many people do start businesses or social enterprises or a new club or society, something like that. That paired with the practical learning from BBS went hand in hand and gave me the perfect platform to start from. It gave me the relevant business skills and
knowledge, and also the confidence in knowing that I was qualified to do this.”

Ryan Scott, Co-Founder, DropChef.com

Bachelor of Business Studies International
“I spent a year in Montpellier in the South of France and what I realised was just how quickly my grasp of the language improved. From the business side, it’s an extremely well respected degree. After graduating I found in work in Montreal with little effort because it’s an internationally recognised degree and I could speak also French. I would definitely recommend this course and indeed I have done!”

Sean Kennedy, Marketing Executive, Windsor Motor Group

BA Global Business (Canada)
“Global Business gives you a really amazing academic landscape and also practical working experience in two countries. When I went to Canada it was a mind-boggling experience but we got right into it – the day after we arrived we started classes in Brock University. My advice would be to put up your hand for everything – this is something I did and it definitely made my experience in
both DCU and Brock very different. There are opportunities coming at you every day so I would say take a chance. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work but if it does it’ll be the best thing you’ve ever done.”

Sorcha Killian, Web Summit

MSc Work and Organisational Psychology/ Behaviour
“I signed up to do the Masters on a part-time basis and really enjoyed the way the course was structured. It was delivered by a superb range of lecturers across a wide range of modules – each demonstrated a depth of knowledge in their subject matter areas. Completing my studies at DCU provided me with the opportunity to apply my knowledge on related projects at work and develop new skills. The course enabled me to become a Chartered Work & Organisational psychologist, with the support of my lecturers and supervised work experience – which I am grateful for!”

Jennifer Grogan, Chartered Organisational Psychologist, ESB

MSc Management (Aviation Leadership)
“The masters was the perfect opportunity for me to get back into the industry, to start making connections within the industry and to upskill so that I could make that transition from the finance industry back into the aviation industry. What I really liked about the programme was the balance between academic learning and industry engagement with guest lectures. From a very practical point of view the masters gave me the confidence to go into interviews with the credibility required
to really sell myself.”

Michael Flynn, Business Specialist, Dublin Airport

BA Global Business (France)
“I chose to study Global Business in DCU Business School as the idea of gaining two degrees, fluency in another language, and undertaking two paid internships appealed to me greatly. The opportunities presented to us as DCU students were phenomenal. I feel that studying at DCU is the main reason I am where I am today! Global Business certainly set me up extremely well to obtain a permanent contract with a leading technology firm. Most of my colleagues at Microsoft are from different countries: We have over 70 different languages spoken at Microsoft Ireland. The demand for fluency in a foreign language and experience working and living abroad cannot be understated in today’s highly competitive job market.”

Ciara Maher, Operations Program Management, Microsoft

MSc Digital Marketing
“I have a background in traditional marketing but I realised that marketing jobs are fast moving into the digital space. I chose DCU Business School because of the great rankings they had. I really liked that for our practical projects we worked for real clients across all areas of digital marketing. It’s a tough course but is definitely worth it!”
