Overview

The MSc in Management (Online) at University College Dublin is particularly suited to professionals in demanding careers and /or those with caring responsibilities for whom time-flexibility is important, as well as for those based outside of Dublin and Ireland looking to study at UCD.

The programme is aimed at those with a non-business undergraduate degree who are looking to accelerate their career by combining their prior qualifications with an in-depth understanding of all key business disciplines, and the necessary problem-solving and leadership skills to support their professional development.

Students will undertake twelve modules online over two academic years. There are generally between three and five hours of live sessions for modules across the trimester in addition to pre-recorded content – all live sessions are recorded for those unable to join at the time of the class.
