The Strategy and Innovation programme from Maynooth University provides you with the knowledge and skills necessary to identify and solve operational and strategic problems that real organisations face.

Our approach to learning is to blend the development of advanced specialist knowledge and capabilities with practical application. Our programme is focused on your career success. We develop skills that you need to be an effective manager.
