    Hi, can anyone thats doing this postgrad tell me how they are getting on with it? Worthwhile, hard?
    Would it be worth going to one of the Universities instead? I looked at the modules in WIT compared to Galway and UL and WIT's syllabus looked like the least interesting and important in my eyes?

    Thanks.

    I think it depends on the exact course you intend to do. You mentioned Masters in Business and HRM, there are different streams in the business school for e.g. Management, Internationalisation, Accounting, Economics & Finance etc.

    I concluded the Masters in Internationalisation in 2010 and I can highly recommend it. If you are interested in the HRM stream, it is very rigourous and lots of my friends that did it enjoyed it. There are lots of presentations and group work, the faculty staff/lecturers are very friendly and approachable, there is an emphasis on independent learning and critical thinking.

    One of the unique selling points in my opinion is the annual international study trip where you visit the Irish college in Brussels, it is very interesting and it is a real life experience to communicate/interact with EU politicians and also the private sector.

    However, you have to deal with some constraints such as inadequate library space suitable for postgrad studies, administrative bottlenecks and most notably from my experience, difficulties in achieving harmonious group dynamics which can have an effect on your grade if some members of your assigned group aren't pulling their weight.

    In summary, I would recommend the Masters in Business in WIT, not surprising as I am back there doing a research degree.
