MBS- Masters in Business Studies

A specialist Masters is now a highly sought after qualification both by those getting ready to launch their careers and potential employers. At WIT School of Business we offer the MBS programme as a platform to build your own unique degree, based on your business interests, and career ambitions. Students choose which discipline to specialise in- Marketing, Human Resource Management, Management, Corporate Administration, Management and Economics and Finance. This approach is unique both in terms of the breadth of the subject coverage and the depth of subject expertise with options from monetary economics to business coaching. A key feature of the programme is that it sets the theories into a wider practical perspective, through the use of case studies, state of the art technology and visiting staff who are experienced and respected practitioners.

WIT School of Business is committed to four year undergraduate business education, so unlike many other MBS programmes the WIT MBS has a distinctive change in tone from undergraduate to postgraduate. This MBS programme stands apart for its pace, rigour and depth. This programme moves beyond passive knowledge acquisition. Instead emphasis will be developing skills of critical thinking, analysis, debate, dealing with high levels of ambiguity, decision-making and the simultaneous treatment of interdependent decisions in a more complex environment. This approach is very effective from a pedagogical perspective as student interaction increases their exposure to new ideas, techniques and thought processes. As such, a variety of learning methods are incorporated into the programme including site visits to companies, interactive seminars with leading practitioners and invited academics, case studies, syndicate group exercises, business simulations, plenary group discussions and debates.

Entry Requirements:
