This Higher Diploma in Business Studies (DBS) programme is designed to provide you as a non-business graduate with a well-rounded understanding of business. It is a skills conversion graduate programme for individuals who hold a primary degree in another discipline (e.g., Arts, Engineering, Science) and would like to enter into business-related career or progress into a postgraduate business programme. You will be educated in the fundamental skills of business administration, enabling you to play an active role in the management and development of business enterprises. All modules assume no previous knowledge of the subject.
This programme provides you with the fundamental skills to work in business, and will complement your existing degree. It also provides you with an opportunity for further postgraduate study, with exemptions provided from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) exams.
For engineering graduates, the programme is approved as part of the Engineers Ireland's Registered Training Providers Programme.
This conversion programme can be the first step to a postgraduate business degree programme, such as the MSc in Human Resource Management, MSc (International Marketing and Enterpreneurship) or standalone qualification in its own right, and is highly valued by employers. It can also provide an opportunity if you didn't feel you reached your full potential at undergraduate level to redress the balance.
