What our students have to say:

“It was with such a sense of real self-doubt that I entered the program in 2012. For me, crossing that threshold back into academia for the first time in 20 years, took all the strength I had. Self-doubt abounded! However, I can now say, having completed the program, that it has revolutionised both my career and self-confidence levels. The sense of achievement of having completed the MBA still fills me with a great sense of pride. It is one of my greatest achievements. Within a month of completing the MBA, I was substantially promoted within my company. This would not have happened without the MBA. The skill set acquired during the MBA helps me daily to successfully achieve sustained business growth.”

“The EMBA for me was a fantastic experience albeit a tremendously challenging one. Along with the varied subject matter, I learned a lot about myself, including hidden strengths to be capitalised upon and weaknesses that needed to be challenged. I have met many wonderful people along my MBA journey and would highly recommend anyone up for the challenge of high end business learning and the personal voyage within.

“The NUI Galway Executive MBA has greatly enhanced my analytical and strategic thinking skills and has provided me with an excellent understanding of the business world. A good balance was reached with regard to gaining an understanding of both the public and private sectors. The final interdisciplinary consultancy project has been for me the flagship, whereby all previous learning makes better sense. The breadth and variety of modules were impressive.”

“I chose the NUI Galway Executive MBA because it has the right mix of practical and theoretical elements to the programme. The quality of teaching within the MBA programme is second to none”

Executive MBA Graduate 2012

“The MBA programme arms you with the multidisciplinary tools of the broader organisation. It is particularly beneficial for people in disciplines which do not get the exposure to report on the total business. It is also a great opportunity to take stock and leverage experience and learning to develop strategies and think outside the box. An MBA is a stepping stone, and will improve earning potential if you continue to invest in on-going learning and the application of the knowledge. It was a great investment for me—I would not have been considered for my current role without it.”

“The networks made through the MBA programme have been pivotal to my professional development and success. Being a “Techie”, the learning and the MBA qualification gives credibility and impact to the financial argument of any business decision enabling paralleled levels of confidence across business and technical fields”.
