    Could anyone tell me where the best place would be to study Business? I'm looking at NCI but I don't know what the standard is like there as I don't know anyone studying there? Also could anyone that's done a business degree tell me how hard it is to find employment when the degree is finished. Thank you.

    I did a business degree in WIT in 2007, I really liked it and thankfully have never been out of work since the day I finished college. There are 2 areas that I found excellent as part of it.
    1) you study all areas of business for the first 2 years then specialise it an area of your choice (accounting,economics, HR, marketing or management)
    2) in the second semester of 3rd year you have the option to do work placement, study abroad or start your own business with support from the college

    I don't think there is any "best" course just the one that suits you best. The one thing I would say about a business degree is that it is very broad, this can be a positive and a negative. If you study accounting, or HR then you have a specialist area. Outside of that its doesn't steer you to any one job. In saying that I specialised in HR and I work as a financial advisor. If you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them
