    Hi
    Has anyone here done this course? Thinking of applying for it next year. Is it difficult to get into does anyone know?

    It's attractive to me in the sense that I don't have a primary business degree. I completed an BA in Economics and Sociology in '08 and have been working in the finance industry since then...

    I was wondering what kind of students they'd be looking for on the course really.

    Any comments or feedback at all about the course welcome!

    Thanks ;)

    E12,000 a year (or E6,000 p/t) -> no exceptions, no grants, no scholarships (in practice)

    about 100-120 people in the course (I think)

    If you have a decent degree (2.1) it is piss easy to get in.

    The content seems sound enough (quite broad, some nice options, team orientated thesis for the summer).

    But will it net you a job?

    Probably not. It is a really, really difficult one to quantify. The fact that it is open to non-business graduates is a plus... but on the other hand it's a negative, isn't it? :confused:

    P.S.> Economics allows you wider scope than just Management btw...

    4 scholarships available in total...

    but only 1 is available for Irish folk....

    And you have to apply to the course in order to be eligible for the scholarship...

    And applying to the course involves a non-refundable E500 deposit. :D
