    Hi Folks,

    Just wondering does anyone have any experience of the part time Masters UCD offers in terms of business and technology? Was looking at the likes of an MBa but at close to €30k, its a little beyond the realm of reality for the moment.

    Found the likes of Msc in Business Analytics and the MSc in iBusiness, but the course content seems a little flat or generalised.

    Any input welcomed!

    These programmes are distinct from each other. The MSc in Business Analytics is concerned with mathematical modelling for business applications and involves programming. The MSc in iBusiness is concerned with the strategic use of IT in business, so more concerned with the social and people management issues arising from the use of IT. So it is a question of what you want and what you like. There is no great problem getting a job from either for anyone who can do a decent interview.

    Cheers for the info. It will be my second Masters, just finishing my M.Eng at present. Both sound really interesting however.

    Engineers make up the largest group of people on the MSc in Business Analytics, as it is also a form of applied mathematics, albeit in a different problem solving area.

    This is some posters of the recent dissertations as an idea of what it is about
